Question
What medication is used to treat pediatric hydrocephalus?
Answer
The main treatment for this condition is surgical, and it can be divided into four categories: (1) surgery to remove the cause of obstruction; (2) surgery to increase cerebrospinal fluid drainage; (3) cerebrospinal fluid shunting surgery. For patients with obvious intracranial hypertension before surgery, desiccant-induced lowering of intracranial pressure can be used. To correct brain edema and reduce intracranial pressure, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on 20% mannitol, furosemide, and dexamethasone is used, and even human serum albumin can be utilized. Wishing the patients a swift recovery and a healthy body and a beautiful life.
