Patient's question:
My baby is now 8 months old, a boy. When he was 50 days old, he underwent heart surgery. At that time, he was diagnosed with congenital heart disease (atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary hypertension). Now, he tends to be fussy at night when sleeping, and his head circumference is within the normal range (slightly larger).Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to your description, mild hydrocephalus can generally be relieved through the use of diuretics and dehydration agents. Severe hydrocephalus can lead to intellectual disability. It is recommended to actively treat it, and surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. Neurotrophic drugs should also be used in conjunction with rehabilitation training. The discovery of external hydrocephalus relies on the early detection and careful observation by parents. If any abnormalities are found, it is important to consult and seek examination from a specialist physician in a timely manner.
