It may lead to enlargement of the cranium if hydrocephalus occurs during development.he brain produces roughly 500 mL of cerebrospinal fluid per day.

Seminal vesicle Seminal vesicle, either of two elongated saclike glands that secrete their fluid contents into the ejaculatory ducts of some male mammals. The two seminal vesicles contribute approximately 60 percent of the fluids passed from the human male during ejaculation. In some mammals the capacity of the seminal vesicles is much larger; the boar, for example, may emit up to 50 times as much seminal fluid. Carnivores, marsupials, monotremes, and cetaceans do not have seminal vesicles. The secretion of the seminal vesicles constitutes the bulk of the seminal fluid (semen). It is a thick fluid that contains the sugar fructose, proteins, citric acid, inorganic phosphorus, potassium, and prostaglandins.
