well if u know the caudate nucleus lies just outside the ventricles, see diagram, now in huntingtons chorea, the caudate nucleus is atrophied, and the ventricles, get space, hence ventricles dilate and hence hydrocephalus

ya hydrocephalus is increased csf pressure, and now that the caudate nucleus is not there, the ventricle gets a chance to become bigger, {its like a wall being removed} and hence more csf accumulates there, and hence hydro....
u got the point
