Patient's question:
Head circumference 52.8cm, cannot speak, cannot walk independently. Recently discovered hydrocephalus in children, how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
The clinical manifestations of hydrocephalus vary depending on the patient's age of onset. In infants with acute hydrocephalus, symptoms of intracranial hypertension are typically pronounced. The skull is fractured, the fontanelles are bulging, the scalp is thin, and the scalp veins are clearly visible, with the child appearing irritable. When the head is exposed to strong light, the skull will emit a glow.Hello, pediatric hydrocephalus is usually related to dysfunction of cerebrospinal fluid circulation. Close monitoring and further examinations are necessary to determine the specific cause of hydrocephalus and its severity.
