Patient's question:
Newborn has brain swelling, it's been half a month now, seems quite larger, originally on the left side, now shifted to the right.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child has congenital hydrocephalus, and the clinical condition shows signs of gradual worsening. Considering it may be due to cerebrospinal fluid circulation disorders, it could affect the child's development and may require surgical treatment. It is recommended to consult the pediatric hospital's neurosurgery department. Some mannitol should be used to reduce intracranial pressure. During medication treatment, it is necessary to undergo CT or magnetic resonance (MR) scans at the hospital to avoid cerebellar malformations and subsequent functional impairments and hemiplegia.
