Question

How to treat cerebral ventriculomegaly caused by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy at birth?

Answer

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which involves administering 100% oxygen to patients in an environment with greater than standard atmospheric pressure, is a treatment process. This method may be challenging for cases that have transformed into cerebral ventriculomegaly, but it can be attempted. Additionally, when diagnosing and distinguishing pediatric optic nerve gliomas, it is important to differentiate from other sellar region lesions such as orbital meningioma, retinoblastoma, teratoma, and orbital bone dysplasia. For Type III cases, differentiation from germ cell tumors or craniopharyngioma should be considered.
