Can fetal hydrocephalus be cured

First, hydrocephalus refers to the expansion of ventricular system caused by the production and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is usually caused by the absorption of CSF. In rare cases, it can be caused by excessive secretion of CSF.

Secondly: Generally speaking, if the fetal hydrocephalus is not particularly serious, part of it will be absorbed in the continuous growth of the child. If it is very serious, surgery is needed. The surgery can be divided into the following types: surgery to reduce the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid: cauterization after plexectomy; Operations to relieve the etiology of ventricular obstruction include cerebral aqueduct formation or dilatation, median foramen incision and removal of intracranial space occupying lesions.

Finally: mild hydrocephalus can be relieved by the treatment of dehydrating agent and diuretic. If the head is obviously enlarged, and the thickness of cerebral cortex is more than 1cm, surgery can be taken and cured. However, for severe hydrocephalus, low intelligence, blindness, paralysis, and obvious atrophy of brain parenchyma, the thickness of cerebral cortex is less than 1cm, it is not suitable for surgery, and it is difficult to cure.
