CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Whereas hydrocephalus is a serious neurological condition, 
characterized by the abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal 
fluids in the ventricles of the brain; 
Whereas there is no known cure for hydrocephalus; 
Whereas hydrocephalus affects an estimated one million 
Americans;
•HCON 74 EH 
Whereas 1 or 2 in every 1000 babies are born with hydro-
cephalus; 
Whereas over 375,000 older Americans have hydrocephalus, 
which often goes undetected or is misdiagnosed as de-
mentia, Alzheimer’s disease, or Parkinson’s disease; 
Whereas with appropriate diagnosis and treatment, people 
with hydrocephalus are able to live full and productive 
lives; 
Whereas the standard treatment for hydrocephalus was devel-
oped in 1952, and carries multiple risks including shunt 
failure, infection, and overdrainage; 
Whereas there are fewer than 10 centers in the United States 
specializing in the treatment of adults with normal pres-
sure hydrocephalus; 
Whereas each year, the people of the United States spend in 
excess of $1 billion to treat hydrocephalus; 
Whereas a September 2005 conference sponsored by 7 insti-
tutes of the National Institutes of Health—‘‘Hydro-
cephalus: Myths, New Facts, Clear Directions’’—resulted 
in efforts to initiate new, collaborative research and treat-
ment efforts; and 
Whereas the Hydrocephalus Association is one of the Na-
tion’s oldest and largest patient and research advocacy 
and support networks for individuals suffering from hy-
drocephalus: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That—
(1) the Congress commends the Director of the 
National Institutes of Health for working with lead-

ing scientists and researchers to organize the first-

(2) it is the sense of the Congress that—

tute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering; 
the National Institute of Child Health and 
Human Development; the National Institute of 
Neurological Disorders and Stroke; the Na-
tional Institute on Aging; and the Office of 
Rare Diseases; 
(B) further research into the epidemiology, 
pathophysiology, disease burden, and improved 
treatment of hydrocephalus should be conducted 
or supported; and 
(C) public awareness and professional edu-
cation regarding hydrocephalus should increase 
through partnerships between the Federal Gov-

Whereas the interdisciplinary approach of IGY and the use

Whereas the interdisciplinary approach of IGY enabled co-

Whereas the IGY increased our understanding of the causes 
of magnetic storms, ionospheric disturbances, and the

Whereas the use of new space-based platforms enabled the
