Patient's question:
.5 Could my baby's intraventricular hemorrhage-induced edema be classified as hydrocephalus or cerebral edema?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, cerebral edema is different from hydrocephalus. Suggestions: Cerebral edema is usually caused by surrounding edema after a brain hemorrhage, which generally disappears after treatment. Hydrocephalus is a condition left during the recovery stage or after recovery, requiring a period of absorption or unable to be absorbed, resulting in sequelae. In other words, cerebral edema can be cured, while hydrocephalus may not necessarily be curable.
