Patient's question:
At six months, a 4D ultrasound revealed that the child had hydrocephalus, with one side measuring 1.1 and the other measuring 1.2. After a follow-up at six and a half months, it increased to 1.3 on one side and 1.5 on the other. Can the child still be kept?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hydrocephalus is a phenomenon where an excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid occurs in the ventricles and subarachnoid space due to the overproduction of cerebrospinal fluid or obstruction of its circulation.Suggestions: If hydrocephalus is not treated promptly, it can affect the intellectual development of children. If detected early and treated in a timely manner, intelligence can still return to normal. B or CT scans should be performed for a definitive diagnosis.
We know that hydrocephalus in children can cause significant harm. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, bringing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
