### Question: 
What treatment is used for hydrocephalus?

#### Options:
- ☐ folic acid supplementation
- ☐ accutane use
- ☐ insertion of an intracranial shunt
- ☐ hydrocephalus is incompatible with life

### Explanation:
This multiple-choice question aims to understand the appropriate treatment method for hydrocephalus. 

**Hydrocephalus** is a condition characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain, which can cause increased pressure inside the skull and lead to brain damage if not treated.

**Correct Answer:**
- Insertion of an intracranial shunt

An intracranial shunt is a medical device that relieves pressure on the brain caused by fluid accumulation. This is typically the most common treatment for hydrocephalus.
