I am almost six months pregnant and have been found to have hydrocephalus in the baby.

Patient's question:

Hydrocephalus is currently 10mm, I don't know how the treatment situation is, how to treat it

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: At 6 months of pregnancy, the fetus is still in a rapid growth phase. Sometimes, the development of the fetal brain may be faster than that of the cerebral aqueduct system. When the amount of cerebrospinal fluid produced in the brain significantly exceeds the circulatory capacity of the aqueduct system, mild hydrocephalus may occur. However, this mild hydrocephalus will gradually disappear as the aqueduct system in the brain matures. Additionally, 10mm is within the normal range, so there is no need to overworry.
In cases of significant hydrocephalus, it is often characterized by one or both sides of the brain being filled with fluid, with the fluid level typically exceeding 10mm.
Recommendations: We advise you not to become overly anxious. A follow-up examination after one month is recommended. If the fluid volume gradually decreases, it indicates that the hydrocephalus is physiological and does not require concern.
