Patient's question:
Because I have been eating randomly recently, my skin has been very bad, and four-layer body compression has appeared. After checking at the hospital, they said it was pediatric hydrocephalus. What is the matter?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to seek treatment from a formal neurology department. Hydrocephalus is caused by excessive cerebrospinal fluid production or impaired circulation and absorption, leading to the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricular system or subarachnoid space, which continuously increases, resulting in elevated pressure, ventricular enlargement, and thus hydrocephalus. It is suitable for early stages or cases with mild conditions and slow progression. 1. Use diuretics or dehydration agents, such as acetazolamide, hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, and mannitol. 2. Repeatedly puncture the anterior fontanelle or lumbar spine to drain fluid.
