Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been under a lot of stress and feeling irritable, experiencing symptoms of quadrigeminal body compression. This year, I was diagnosed with pediatric hydrocephalus. What should I eat?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Hydrocephalus is a disease caused by excessive (or) impaired secretion, circulation, and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid, leading to an increase in the amount of cerebrospinal fluid in the cranial cavity, expansion of the ventricular system or (and) dilation of the subarachnoid space. The symptoms of hydrocephalus (also known as pediatric hydrocephalus) vary with the age of onset in children, primarily, developmental delay, headache, vomiting, drowsiness, epilepsy, signs of increased head circumference, high tension of the card door, difficulty looking up, papilledema, and abducens nerve palsy. Typical symptoms include headache, vomiting, blurred vision, optic nerve head edema, occasional diplopia, dizziness, and epilepsy.
