Answer
What you mean to say is that there is fluid in the brain? Such a condition is known as "HYDROCEPHALUS". Please read the article on "Hydrocephalus" on www.pediatriconcall.com or from the link given below: http://www.pediatriconcall.com/forpatients/commonchild/Neurological_problems/ hydrocephalus_in_children.asp A VP shunt in India costs anywhere from Rs 5000 to Rs 50,000 depending upon the type of hospital and facilities selected.
