What are the causes of hydrocephalus in children?
Doctor's answer:
Infantile congenital hydrocephalus, two acquired ones. Purulent meningitis is the most common cause of acquired inflammatory adhesions; followed by trauma or cerebrovascular disease, circulatory disorders or tumors, parasites causing obstruction of the brain's water channels. In recent years, meningitis has decreased, and acquired hydrocephalus has correspondingly decreased. Congenital deformities are relatively common. About 40% of congenital pediatric hydrocephalus is natural and still static, and about one-third of the static cases have high intelligence. Close to normal children. In short, such children should actively seek medical care.
