Patient's question:
The baby is 5 and a half months old and went to see a doctor. The doctor said the muscle tone is high and the head circumference is abnormal. They did a brain MRI and tested blood and urine. The baby's detailed examination results are like this.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the 5.5-month-old baby has high muscle tone and abnormal head circumference. A detailed fusion cranial MRI examination is required, with the possibility of excluding hydrocephalus. In fact, many diseases in the brain can lead to excessive cerebrospinal fluid excretion or impaired cerebrospinal fluid circulation, resulting in hydrocephalus. It is necessary to see a neurosurgery specialist at the hospital for examination. Severe cases may require surgical treatment, and it is crucial to act promptly.
