Patient's question:
My child's current general condition: trembling mouth. My child has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, and my wife's younger brother's child also has the same condition. Is this disease related to my wife's transmission? Is this disease difficult to treat? If it's not treatable, what kind of impact will it have on the child in the future?Doctor's answer:
Hello! This disease does not have a genetic tendency. The fact that both children suffer from this condition can only be considered a coincidence or related to living environment and other factors. If treated early, the prognosis is generally good. If left to cause further damage to the brain tissue and then treated, the prognosis will be poor! External hydrocephalus is a relatively special type of hydrocephalus, also known as benign hydrocephalus or self-limiting hydrocephalus. If the child's growth and development and intelligence are normal, clinical observation is generally the main approach. However, your child has developed a condition of head and neck extension.
