Should you go to neurosurgery to check for brain diseases?

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 16 years old. At the age of 2, she was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at Liaohe Oilfield Central Hospital in Panjin City, Liaoning Province. She had poor immunity and was frequently hospitalized. Most of her childhood was spent in the hospital. Her symptoms included a seizure once a year, foaming at the mouth, and requiring emergency medical treatment at the hospital. We visited various hospitals, such as the Changchun Children's Hospital in Jilin and the Second Hospital of Medical University of Shenyang in Liaoning, but found no effective treatment. They said it had to rely on absorption on its own. However, over the years, she couldn't study like a normal child, had poor memory, and due to the family's poor financial condition, she never received treatment at a major hospital.

Doctor's answer:

A seizure should be considered an epileptic attack. For diagnosis, you can perform a head CT, MRI, or even a lumbar puncture to conduct biochemical and bacteriological tests.
