Can hydrocephalus-induced infantile spasms be cured and what are the sequelae?

Patient's question:

Main symptoms: Head nodding and leg kicking Onset time: August 1st Laboratory test results: Infantile spasms

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.
