Question
Our child was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at birth, and we don’t know what caused it. We are very worried and concerned that the child may have residual symptoms. What should we do about hydrocephalus in fetuses?
Answer
Hydrocephalus is a condition where there is an excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid, leading to increased intracranial pressure. For some children, hydrocephalus may be diagnosed at birth. In some mild cases, the child may gradually improve as they grow older. However, if the child’s condition does not improve, surgical treatment may be necessary. The management of hydrocephalus in fetuses should be tailored to the specific situation, and it is recommended that you consult with a professional physician for more detailed advice and treatment options.
