Definition[edit | edit source]
Bobble-head doll syndrome (BHDS) is a rare neurological condition that is typically first seen in childhood.
Cause[edit | edit source]
Although the specific cause of this condition is unknown, BHDS is often seen with cysts in the third ventricle of the brain that also cause hydrocephalus (water on the brain).
Signs and symptoms[edit | edit source]
The signs and symptoms of BHDS include characteristic up and down head movements that increase during walking and excitement and decrease during concentration.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for BHDS may involve surgical removal of the cyst causing the condition or using a shunt to drain excess water on the brain.
