Can hydrocephalus in children be relieved?

Patient's question:

These days, I've been under a lot of stress and feeling irritable. I don't know why I feel like my lower limbs have a scissor gait. During the physical examination, they said it might be possible that I have hydrocephalus in childhood. Can it still be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Hydrocephalus in children has various symptoms. We have collected all the symptoms of this disease, hoping it will be helpful to you: Compared to adults, the clinical manifestations of hydrocephalus in children vary depending on the patient's age of onset. In acute hydrocephalus in infants, the symptoms of intracranial hypertension are usually prominent, with open fontanelles, a bulging anterior fontanelle, thinning of the scalp, and clearly visible, dilated scalp veins. There may also be cranial lucency when strong light is shone on the head.
