Patient's question:
Uncle recently suffered a head injury, but he hasn't shown any symptoms until recently when he always felt uncomfortable. The hospital examination revealed hydrocephalus. Could you please tell me what are some good treatment methods for adult hydrocephalus in general?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocephalus caused by congenital developmental abnormalities of the brain tissue is called congenital hydrocephalus. The reasons for the formation of hydrocephalus may be the imbalance between the secretion and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid, that is, excessive production of cerebrospinal fluid or absorption. In addition, obstruction of the cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathway is also an important cause of congenital hydrocephalus. The best approach is to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. We know that hydrocephalus in children can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is very rapid, which can bring great harm to young children. Therefore, it is necessary to seek professional medical treatment in a regular hospital in a timely manner, and this is the key.
