Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Since last week, I've been in a bad mood and suspecting there might be a problem, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus in children. What should I pay attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of hydrocephalus: First, congenital hydrocephalus, where there is an excessive secretion of cerebrospinal fluid, is more common. The accepted theory is that the choroid plexus in the lateral ventricles is hyperplastic and secretes cerebrospinal fluid excessively, leading to dysfunction of the choroid plexus in secreting cerebrospinal fluid and the occurrence of hydrocephalus. Second, cerebrospinal fluid absorption disorders, such as hydrocephalus caused by cerebrospinal fluid absorption disorders due to fetal meningitis. Third, obstruction of the cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathway 1, congenital malformations: may be related to parents exposure to certain chemicals, radiation, radioactive elements, fever during early pregnancy, taking certain traditional Chinese medicines, abortion drugs, fetal drugs, abnormal fetal position, polyhydramnios, etc. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination.
