Hydrocephaly-low insertion umbilicus syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hydrocephalus (excess fluid in the brain) and a low insertion of the umbilicus (belly button). It is caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the protein filamin A. Symptoms of this disorder can include developmental delays, seizures, vision and hearing problems, and intellectual disability. Treatment typically involves surgery to reduce the amount of fluid in the brain and to correct the umbilical insertion.

The symptoms of Hydrocephaly-low insertion umbilicus syndrome can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Common symptoms include:

-Low-set umbilicus (belly button)
-Abnormal head shape
-Developmental delay
-Seizures
-Feeding difficulties
-Vision and hearing problems
-Motor delays
-Growth delays
-Behavioral problems
-Learning disabilities
-Hydrocephalus (excess fluid in the brain)
-Abnormal facial features

The exact cause of hydrocephaly-low insertion umbilicus syndrome is unknown. However, it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Possible causes include:

1. Genetic mutations: Certain genetic mutations can cause hydrocephaly-low insertion umbilicus syndrome.

2. Chromosomal abnormalities: Abnormalities in the structure or number of chromosomes can lead to hydrocephaly-low insertion umbilicus syndrome.

3. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain environmental toxins or infections during pregnancy can increase the risk of hydrocephaly-low insertion umbilicus syndrome.

4. Unknown causes: In some cases, the cause of hydrocephaly-low insertion umbilicus syndrome is unknown.

The treatment for hydrocephaly-low insertion umbilicus syndrome depends on the severity of the condition. Treatment may include:

1. Surgery to reduce the amount of fluid in the brain.

2. Medications to reduce the amount of fluid in the brain.

3. Shunts to drain the excess fluid from the brain.

4. Physical therapy to help with motor skills and coordination.

5. Occupational therapy to help with daily activities.

6. Speech therapy to help with communication.

7. Special education to help with learning.

8. Counseling to help with emotional and social issues.

1. Low insertion of the umbilical cord
2. Maternal diabetes
3. Maternal infection during pregnancy
4. Maternal drug use during pregnancy
5. Maternal smoking during pregnancy
6. Maternal age over 35
7. Family history of hydrocephaly
8. Premature birth
9. Low birth weight
10. Exposure to certain environmental toxins

There is no cure for hydrocephaly-low insertion umbilicus syndrome. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce the pressure in the brain, such as diuretics, and surgery to reduce the amount of fluid in the brain. In some cases, a shunt may be used to drain the excess fluid from the brain.
