Patient's question:
The baby is only two months old and has internal hydrocephalus. The doctor said surgery is needed, but the child is too young and the surgery must be delayed for two months. Do you have any better solutions? Can such a young child endure the pain of the surgery? Also, during these two months, will the child be in danger? Is there a way to control the increase in fluid accumulation?,,,Doctor's answer:
If it is obstructive hydrocephalus, early surgical treatment is required. Hydrocephalus has a significant impact on the brain development of children, and delayed treatment may lead to cerebral palsy or other risks. We have performed many procedures on newborns. If it is obstructive hydrocephalus, the best approach is to use a neuroendoscope to clear the obstruction. You can send the MRI images of the child to my email address, and I will check if it is suitable for endoscopic surgery.
