Answer
Condition Analysis: Based on your situation, hydrocephalus can be diagnosed. Patients with hydrocephalus may experience dizziness, and in severe cases, vision may decline. Guidance: Hydrocephalus generally falls into two types. 1. Obstructive hydrocephalus, which is often caused by a blockage in the cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathway, leading to poor cerebrospinal fluid flow. This type of hydrocephalus requires timely identification of the cause of the blockage, and surgery to relieve the obstruction is necessary. 2. Communicative hydrocephalus. This is when there is no blockage in the cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathway but hydrocephalus still occurs. This is generally due to insufficient absorption or excessive secretion of cerebrospinal fluid. It is often caused by inflammatory diseases or hemorrhagic diseases leading to elevated protein content in the cerebrospinal fluid that cannot be absorbed. If the intracranial pressure is high in this type of hydrocephalus, it requires treatment with ventriculo-peritoneal shunting. Therefore, hydrocephalus that reaches a certain degree must be treated surgically. Mild cases of hydrocephalus can be treated without surgery; taking medication to suppress cerebrospinal fluid secretion can alleviate symptoms. It is recommended that you carefully check and clarify the specific cause of your hydrocephalus before deciding on a treatment plan.
