Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of conditions, and I am very concerned, afraid that the child will get worse. Is there any aftereffect of external hydrocephalus in premature infants?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocephalus refers to an increase in the volume of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain. In addition to neurological signs, it often presents with mental decline or dementia. The most effective treatment methods include lumbar puncture to drain fluid or surgical intervention. After treatment, it is necessary to further investigate the cause of hydrocephalus and then treat the primary disease accordingly. Hello!Your child may have pinworms.
