My daughter was born on June 19, 2007, and is now seven months old. She was diagnosed with mild hydrocephalus at five and a half months. I would like to know if the current treatment methods are effective and if there are better treatment options. Should she continue with hyperbaric oxygen therapy? Are there any side effects to this treatment?
Mild hydrocephalus is a delayed-onset brain disease that requires comprehensive analysis to determine effective treatment measures. Treatment generally adopts a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, including enhancing and improving regional microcirculation blood flow in the affected neural areas to nourish nerves, while using neuroregenerative drugs to activate paralyzed nerves and promote nerve regeneration and repair. Early treatment is very important.
If an initial diagnosis of hydrocephalus is made, it is recommended to undergo regular ultrasound examinations for close observation.
Understanding the Treatment and Condition of a Baby’s Mild Externally Hydrocephalus
My child had an EEG at 80 days old and was found to have external hydrocephalus. We administered 15 days of brain protein and conducted rehabilitation training and hydrotherapy at home. Can such treatment cure hydrocephalus?
Premature infants with underdeveloped lungs may need to be placed in an incubator for oxygen therapy. The diagnosis is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, a condition that is quite severe.
My son was premature and had a cry at birth. The doctor diagnosed him with respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants and neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. How should this situation be handled?
A questioner inquires about a child with hydrocephalus, asking whether the disease is hereditary, the difficulty of treatment, and the potential impact on the child; professionals answer that hydrocephalus is not hereditary, and early treatment and prognosis are generally better.
During pregnancy, if a fetus is found to have hydrocephalus, there is no effective medication available for rapid treatment. Treatment options are limited, and continuous observation and ultrasound examinations are required to monitor the progression of the condition.
Extracranial hydrocephalus in infants can usually normalize with the growth and development of the brain tissue, often resolving by the age of 2.
