Patient's question:
Not long ago, the problem of injury was only discovered, always staring blankly, now it's very worried that it might be hydrocephalus in children, what to do?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Hydrocephalus in children has various symptoms. I 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 very prominent, including bone fractures, fullness of the fontanelles, thinning of the scalp, clearly visible scalp veins, and irritability. When the head is exposed to strong light, the skull will emit a glow. On the top of percussion instruments, a solid drum sound is called "cracked pot," known as Macewen's sign. The affected children are easily irritable, expressionless, have poor appetite, and continuously emit short, abnormal, and high-pitched crying. The two eyes are in a downward gaze position, and the upper eyelids do not accompany drooping.
