Patient's question:
Because the weather has been quite hot recently, my family likes to go to the water's edge to play. When my younger brother went out to play one time, he had an accident and hit his head. Not long after that, he developed post-traumatic sequelae. Yesterday, when I went for a follow-up check-up, the doctor said that my younger brother has hydrocephalus due to high intracranial pressure.Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the treatment of acute hydrocephalus with high intracranial pressure, surgical treatment should be the primary approach. In addition to surgical treatment, medication can also be used, mainly diuretics such as mannitol. However, medication is not suitable for long-term use.
