In the majority of cases, neonatal hydrocephalus is a genetic disease. The obstetrician's role in antenatal diagnosis of this disease is important. It is essential to take an accurate family history and to perform autopsies on affected infants if successful genetic counselling is to be pursued. Every woman, at her first antenatal visit, should be asked if she had a positive family history of hydrocephalus. Advanced experience in sonography will make the detection of hydrocephalus possible before the 20th week of gestation.
在大多数情况下，新生儿脑积水是一种遗传性疾病。产科医生在该疾病的产前诊断中起着重要作用。如果要进行成功的遗传咨询，准确记录家族病史并对受影响的婴儿进行尸检至关重要。每位女性在首次产前检查时，都应被询问是否有脑积水的阳性家族病史。超声检查的先进经验将使在妊娠20周前检测到脑积水成为可能。
