Patient's question:
My baby is three and a half months old and keeps shaking his head as if he's been startled. After checking into the hospital, following the doctor's instructions, a brain CT was performed. The results showed mild external hydrocephalus. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
From the current situation, your daughter's condition is quite severe, and there is a high possibility of leaving behind sequelae. External hydrocephalus is equivalent to subdural effusion, most of which can be absorbed spontaneously, and mild cases do not require special treatment. The baby's condition is not necessarily related to external hydrocephalus. Pay attention to feeding the baby and let it be natural, normal feeding. Pay attention to the head circumference if it grows slowly, continue to monitor whether it is necessary to go to the hospital soon.
