Swollen eyes on a premature child

My grandson was born 3 months premature and is doing rather well. He has not been released from the NICU yet, he is still receiving room air through a candula, but the swelling around his eyes bothers me. Is this normal and will it go away soon?

Does the baby have hydrocephalus?

Hydrocephalus may be congenital or acquired. Congenital hydrocephalus is present at birth and may be caused by either environmental influences during fetal development or genetic predisposition. Acquired hydrocephalus develops at the time of birth or at some point afterward. This type of hydrocephalus can affect individuals of all ages and may be caused by injury or disease.
