Is 82 mm fetal hydrocephalus normal

summary

Hydrocephalus is a disease that children suffer from. It is not very common in life, but it will also appear. Let's explain whether fetal hydrocephalus 82mm is normal.

Is 82 mm fetal hydrocephalus normal

First of all, hydrocephalus is the general term of cerebrospinal fluid generation or circulation absorption process disorder, which leads to excessive cerebrospinal fluid volume, increased pressure, and expanded the space occupied by normal cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in increased intracranial pressure and ventricular enlargement. Most of the reasons are caused by the obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathway, while the patients with excessive cerebrospinal fluid circulation are rare.

Then, generally speaking, hydrocephalus occurs in infants within two years old, which can be divided into communicating hydrocephalus and non communicating hydrocephalus. Communicating hydrocephalus refers to the blockage of cerebrospinal fluid absorption on the surface of the brain; non communicating hydrocephalus refers to the blockage of cerebrospinal fluid circulation in the ventricular system.

Finally, the maximum fetal effusion during pregnancy is less than 10 mm, most of them are normal variation, and the possibility of regression is very large; if the amount of effusion is between 10 mm and 14 mm, it will not cause serious consequences if it is not due to intracranial and extracranial malformations or chromosomal abnormalities. If it is in these two cases, pregnant women and their families can rest assured. However, if the fetus is found to have effusion on both sides and in many parts, and the maximum effusion is more than 15 mm, the probability of combined intracranial and extracranial malformations and chromosomal abnormalities will be significantly increased, which is also very dangerous, and it needs careful consideration. 82mm is already very dangerous, at this time must be actively treated, otherwise there will be life-threatening.

matters needing attention

Now it's too late to eat folic acid, but it's better to eat it than not. Nutrition drugs are not needed. Don't rush to a doctor. If the fetus has hydrocephalus, the parents must be patient, actively treat the child, and learn to discharge themselves.
