Patient's question:
My baby was discovered to have a larger head than other babies when he was about one and a half years old. I initially thought it was just because he was a big-headed smart kid. However, this year his head has become even bigger, which makes me feel slightly uneasy. I went to the local hospital for a check-up and was told it was congenital hydrocephalus. I was completely stunned and couldn't understand what the doctor was saying.Hello, what are the symptoms of hydrocephalus in a 2-year-old child?
Doctor's answer:
Enlargement of the ventricles is a persistent clinical diagnosis more common in children, characterized by an enlarged head, widened fontanelles, tight and rounded appearance, delayed closure of cranial sutures, sunken eyes, nausea, twitching, language and motor impairments, and intellectual disability. In adults, it is more common to experience intermittent headaches, head fullness, heaviness in the head, dizziness, blurred vision, and weakness in both hands and legs. Hydrocephalus is primarily treated through non-surgical and surgical methods. The above is a suggestion for this issue, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you.
