Patient's question:
I want to know what are the common reasons for nystagmus, after checking the hospital, it was said to be hydrocephalus in children, what food is effectiveDoctor's answer:
Hello! Compared to adults, the risk of hydrocephalus in children varies depending on the age of onset. In infants with acute hydrocephalus, symptoms of intracranial hypertension are usually pronounced, including bone fractures, fullness of the fontanelles, thinning of the scalp, and clearly visible scalp veins. When the head is exposed to strong light, the skull will emit a glow. At the top of percussion instruments, a solid drum sound is known as the Macewen sign. Children with the condition are prone to irritability, apathy, poor appetite, and continuously high-pitched, short, and abnormal crying. The two eyes are positioned in a downward gaze, with no accompanying ptosis of the upper eyelids. The lower part of the eyes sinks below the lower eyelid margin, with some cornea located below the temporal margin. Above, the sclera appears white, also known as the sunset phenomenon.
