Patient's question:
The neighbor has a child who has been sick since birth, mainly suffering from congenital hydrocephalus. The neighbor is not planning to save the child. What are the consequences of not treating infant hydrocephalus?Doctor's answer:
If not treated in time for children with hydrocephalus whose condition is below half, they will be at risk of death within a year and a half. Because once a child suffers from hydrocephalus, timely treatment must be obtained. Currently, for the rescue of pediatric hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid shunt surgery is commonly used in clinical diagnosis. This is the most classic method, with broad applications and good effects. However, this shunt surgery has a high incidence of postoperative complications, postoperative infection, and postoperative blockage, with rates as high as 40% or even higher.
