Hydrocephalus Medical I.C.E. Card

Hydrocephalus Medical I.C.E. Card – In Case of Emergency

Hydrocephalus is a condition where excess fluid builds up within the brain’s ventricles, leading to increased pressure that can affect brain function. Many people with Hydrocephalus have a surgically implanted shunt to help drain fluid — which is vital information for emergency responders. In urgent situations, symptoms like confusion, headaches, vomiting, or mobility issues may be misinterpreted unless your condition is clearly known. This fully printed Hydrocephalus ICE (In Case of Emergency) card ensures that your diagnosis and any shunt-related information can be quickly communicated to medical professionals.

Whether you’re travelling, at school or work, or in a public space, this card helps ensure your condition is recognised immediately — especially if you are unable to speak for yourself.

What is Hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus is a neurological condition caused by a build-up of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles. This can increase pressure on the brain and lead to symptoms such as headaches, nausea, balance issues, vision problems, and cognitive changes. It can occur at any age and is often treated with a shunt or drainage system. Having an ICE card helps emergency responders understand your condition and avoid delays or inappropriate treatments in time-critical situations.
