Patient's question:
Colleagues always say, when they find a full anterior fontanelle, they go to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor says it's hydrocephalus in children. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Clinical manifestations of infants with hydrocephalus: The clinical manifestations of infants with hydrocephalus are primarily the rapid and gradual increase in head circumference within a few weeks or months after birth (the first 6 months of a normal infant's head circumference, or "pillow"). The head circumference increases by 1-1.3 cm each month, and the condition can rapidly increase by 2-3 times. The head is round, with a convex forehead, enlarged fontanelles, open cranial sutures, deformed skull, and a "cracked pot" diagnosis. The hair is sparse, the forehead veins are dilated, the eyes are positioned below the spine, the sclera is often exposed, resembling a "sunset." The child appears lethargic, unable to lift their head, and severe cases may be accompanied by brain dysfunction,，，。，，，，，.
