Patient's question:
On May 17, 2010, an intracranial infection occurred after trauma. On June 5, obstructive hydrocephalus developed, leading to a coma. A drainage surgery was performed. Now awake, but in a state of unclear consciousness.Doctor's answer:
Because of intracranial infection causing hydrocephalus, the fistula surgery may not be effective, but it can be attempted. Since the patient is a child, if the shunt surgery is performed, it will require regular tube adjustments.We know that intracranial infection in children can cause significant harm. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, it can progress rapidly and bring great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to the child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
