Question
A patient who began drinking at a young age and has irregular eating habits was suspected by a clinic doctor of possibly having pediatric hydrocephalus, and exhibiting symptoms of gaze palsy. How should gaze palsy caused by pediatric hydrocephalus be treated?
Answer
Pediatric hydrocephalus is a disease involving various symptoms, with gaze palsy being one of the possible conditions. Common clinical manifestations in infants with acute hydrocephalus include increased intracranial pressure, such as skull fractures, bulging fontanelles, thinning scalp, and visible scalp veins. The treatment for gaze palsy caused by pediatric hydrocephalus should first address the underlying cause of the hydrocephalus, which may include surgical treatment, medication, or other medical interventions. The specific treatment plan should be determined by a professional neurologist.
