Question
A three-year-old child has developed hydrocephalus, with the ventricles at the bottom of the brain significantly enlarged and deformed, the grooves and fissures of the brain compressed and shallow, and the brain tissue obviously compressed and deformed. There are no apparent abnormalities in the shape and signal intensity of the cerebellum and brainstem, and no deviation in the midline structure. How should this be handled?
Answer
Hello! Your child’s condition is due to hydrocephalus compressing the brain tissue, leading to its damage, which manifests as motor function impairment. The treatment mainly adopts a comprehensive approach. Methods include applying Chinese medicine to nourish essence from both internal and external aspects, promoting hydration and removing blood stasis, combined with acupuncture, massage, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and external anti-treatment from three aspects. This is to activate the comprehensive functions of the human body from both internal and external sides to facilitate recovery. There is no single drug or therapy that guarantees success; it is definitely a comprehensive treatment!
