Is it serious for a child to have pediatric hydronephrosis?

Patient's question:

My cousin's child unfortunately suffers from hydrocephalus, but I have only heard of this disease for the first time until now. I want to know how serious this disease is.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I am very happy to answer your question: For this child, the hydrocephalus is very serious, because the child's hydrocephalus is similar to cerebral palsy, which is a very difficult disease to treat. Cerebral palsy in children may occur, but this child has hydrocephalus. Later, it will affect the child's life at any time. If the accumulated water in the head cannot be eliminated, the longer the time, the child will suddenly die. I hope my reply is helpful to you.
