Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor, recently, there has been a fullness of the anterior fontanelle, I would like to ask if it is possible to treat pediatric hydrocephalus.Doctor's answer:
Children with hydrocephalus have 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 infants with acute hydrocephalus, symptoms of intracranial hypertension are usually prominent, including bone fractures, bulging fontanelles, thinning scalp, clearly visible scalp veins, and irritability. When the head is exposed to strong light, the skull will emit a glow. The affected children are easily irritable, indifferent in expression, have poor appetite, and continuously emit short, abnormal, and high-pitched crying. The two eyes are in a downward gaze position, and there is no accompanying drooping of the upper eyelids. The lower part of the eyeballs sinks below the lower edge of the eyelids, and some corneas are located below the temporal lower edge.
