Question
Can hydrocephalus in infants be cured?
Answer
Hydrocephalus refers to an increase in the cerebrospinal fluid volume within the skull. Besides neurological symptoms, there may be mental decline or dementia. The most effective treatment methods are puncture drainage or surgical treatment. After treatment, it is essential to further investigate the cause of the hydrocephalus and provide treatment for the underlying disease. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents and caregivers, do not rush into panic. It is important to take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Additionally, regular checks should be conducted on the child, and medication should be taken under the doctor’s guidance.
