How to treat a boy with incomplete brain development and hydrocephalus

Patient's question:

A two-year-old boy, who was diagnosed with left-sided brain underdevelopment and hydrocephalus at 16 months, now struggles to bend his right leg while walking, has difficulty placing his right heel on the ground when walking, and exhibits poor flexibility in his right hand.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the condition you mentioned is relatively common among children during their developmental years. If the child still has external hydrocephalus, it is advisable to first observe the child for a period of time. In some cases, the hydrocephalus may gradually resolve on its own over time. If the condition does not improve after a while, further medication treatment may be considered for the child.
