Patient's question:
My son is five years old. Five days after his birth, the hospital diagnosed him with ischemic and hypoxic subarachnoid hemorrhagic encephalopathy. He was treated for 10 days and then discharged. I did not take him for a follow-up examination after that. He fell off the bed and hit his head badly. When I had a CT scan done for him, the doctor said it was hydrocephalus.Doctor's answer:
How is the child's intellectual and motor development? It is recommended to undergo an MRI examination as soon as possible, followed by surgical treatment. The preferred method is ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery. We know that hydrocephalus in children can cause significant harm. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, it can progress rapidly, bringing great harm to the child. Therefore, it is essential to seek professional medical treatment in a specialized hospital for standardized care, as this is the key.
