Patient's question:
Sometimes there might be some uncomfortable feelings, I don't know if it's serious, and I don't know when the bone seams might separate. I suspect there's a problem, so I went to the hospital for a check-up and it was diagnosed as hydrocephalus in children. Can you help me?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocephalus in children has various symptoms. We 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 age of onset. In infants with acute hydrocephalus, symptoms of intracranial hypertension are usually prominent, including bone fractures, bulging fontanelles, thinning scalp, clearly visible scalp veins, and irritability. When the head is exposed to strong light, the skull will emit a glow. At the top of the percussion instruments, a solid drum sound is called "cracked pot," known as Macewen's sign. Children with the disease are prone to irritability, apathy, poor appetite, and continuously high-pitched, short, and abnormal crying.
