Patient's question:
Friend Xiao Li has been postpartum for these past few days. Since yesterday, when I visited her and her baby at her home, Xiao Li has been in a low mood. It turns out that her newborn baby is suffering from infantile brain edema and intracranial hypertension syndrome.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Hydrocephalus and intracranial hypertension syndrome refer to the condition caused by an increase in brain volume and weight due to an increase in the liquid in the brain substance. The accumulation of free fluid in the interstitial spaces of brain cell tissue is called cerebral edema, while an increase in the liquid within brain cells is called cerebral swelling.
