Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor, my baby was premature by 42 days and is now 7 months old. At birth, it was found that there was a meningeal bulge, and surgery was performed within 2 days. Now during the follow-up examination, it was found that there is hydrocephalus (moderate) and brain developmental dysplasia. Is it necessary to have surgery for moderate hydrocephalus?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy can occur when conditions impede blood circulation and gas exchange between the mother and fetus, or lead to neonatal arterial hypotension and venous congestion, potentially causing brain damage and resulting in cerebral palsy. The causes include:1. Maternal factors: Such as preeclampsia, heart failure, severe hemorrhage, anemia, shock, or drug abuse and overdose.
2. Placental abnormalities: Such as placental abruption, placenta previa, placental infarction, or placental dysfunction.
3. Tape flow obstruction.
4. Tape prolapse, compression, knotting, or neck entanglement.
5. Circulatory failure.
6. Polycythemia.
