Patient's question:
When the child was born, the hospital diagnosed it as infectious purulent meningitis, which later developed into hydrocephalus. Now the child is two months old. How can this disease be cured?Doctor's answer:
If purulent meningitis occurs with hydrocephalus, our treatment plan is to first perform an external ventricular drainage, followed by active anti-infection therapy. After controlling and curing the intracranial infection, if hydrocephalus still exists, we consider performing a ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery. We know that intracranial infections in children can cause significant harm. If left untreated or treated improperly, the condition can progress rapidly, posing great harm to the child. Therefore, it is essential to seek timely and professional medical treatment at a qualified hospital, as this is the key.
