Patient's question:
She said hydrocephalus would absorb on its own, and many children have underdeveloped brains. I said that doing infant exercises with the baby wouldn't work because his feet can't support tightly, and the doctor said not to force the baby. Listening to her, it seems like everything is fine, but please tell me, what is the actual condition of my baby? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
The formation of hydrocephalus can affect all aspects of cerebrospinal fluid metabolism, leading to an increase in cerebrospinal fluid compared to normal levels, which may result in some symptoms. Some children may exhibit a significantly enlarged head circumference compared to their peers, while others may have their brain tissue compressed, leading to developmental delays.Treatment options include both medical and surgical approaches. Medical treatment involves nourishing the brain nerves and can be combined with rehabilitation training. Generally, this is needed for children aged 2-3. If parents feel that the child's development is still not normal, continuing rehabilitation training is also beneficial for the child.
