Patient's question:
The current general condition of my child: His mouth is trembling. My child was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, and the same condition was found in my wife's younger brother's child. 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 attributed to coincidence or related to living environment, etc. 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 is showing a condition of head and neck extension.
