Question
My child keeps crying after birth, and I feel that his head is a bit large, and he often vomits. I suspect he might have pediatric hydrocephalus. What are the symptoms of pediatric hydrocephalus?
Answer
Pediatric hydrocephalus usually manifests with an enlarged head, frequent vomiting, and crying within the first 3-5 months after birth. If these symptoms are observed in a child, an immediate brain ultrasound or X-ray should be conducted to confirm the presence of fluid accumulation. Surgical treatment involves unblocking the areas where the cerebrospinal fluid circulation is obstructed.
