Question
I’ve been dizzy for the past three days, so I went to the hospital for a brain CT scan, and it was diagnosed as mild hydrocephalus. The doctor prescribed mannitol and brain-awakening intravenous drips.
Answer
Mild hydrocephalus is a delayed-onset brain disease caused by neural area blood supply impairment due to prolonged ischemia of the original affected nerve, leading to the inability to autonomously metabolize cerebrospinal fluid. Whether the condition can be controlled to prevent further development depends on analyzing the patient’s medical records to determine effective treatment measures. Otherwise, this condition may lead to more severe neural atrophy and ultimately to dementia and paralysis. The treatment plan involves a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to enhance and improve regional microcirculation blood flow in the affected neural areas to nourish nerves, while using neuroregenerative drugs to excite and activate paralyzed nerves for regeneration and repair, thereby restoring various functions. The key to recovery lies in early treatment. Please send your MRI images for guidance.
