What should I do if a child with hydrocephalus has undergone drainage surgery and has an unattractive walking posture?

Patient's question:

Hello, I suggest you go to the hospital for further examination. MRI can provide clearer results. It's better to go to a provincial hospital for diagnosis. After confirming the diagnosis, treatment can be started. Regarding the child's hydrocephalus who has undergone drainage surgery, their walking posture is not aesthetically pleasing. I hope the doctor can explain this.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to have a brain CT scan at the hospital to check for any abnormalities. It is likely hydrocephalus, which affects brain development and leads to increased muscle tone in the lower limbs, resulting in scissor gait. If the scissor gait is simple, it is easier to treat. Acupuncture combined with massage and rehabilitation training can help recover quickly. When children are found to have these conditions and cannot walk, it is important to take them to the hospital for these tests as soon as possible. Generally, early detection and treatment can lead to better outcomes, and symptomatic treatment can also be effective for children.
