hydrocephalus can progress to cause pressure symptoms which can cause anything from false localized signs to severe neurological deficit. once acquired, if bed wetting has recurred , is suggestive of a pathology. hydrocephalus can cause pyramidal and extrapyramidal side effects and bladder and bowel incontinence.
Get an imaging study done for the brain and take a neurologist opinion.
