Question
A 35-week premature baby, who has had a history of hypoxia, is now four months old and shows signs of elevated muscle tone throughout the body, unstable head lifting, and is not yet able to roll over, although there is an awareness of rolling. The cranial magnetic resonance imaging shows peripheral hydrocephalus. What are the treatment options?
Answer
Based on the description, if hydrocephalus is not treated promptly, it may affect future brain development, which is often caused by brain nerve damage. It is recommended to use nerve-nourishing medications for inpatient treatment and to complement recovery exercises to promote recovery. The main cause of muscle tension is the compression from hydrocephalus. The best practice is to collaborate with doctors for treatment promptly.
