Question
How to deal with external hydrocephalus?
Answer
External hydrocephalus is a relatively special form of hydrocephalus, also known as benign hydrocephalus or self-limiting hydrocephalus. If a child’s growth and intelligence development are normal, clinical observation is usually the main approach. However, if your child exhibits a backward tilt of the head, it may be due to overly tight muscles in the lumbar and back area. It is recommended to visit the pediatric neurology department of your local hospital for a detailed examination. If confirmed as the cause, early intervention with comprehensive rehabilitation treatment can yield better prognostic effects.
