What treatment method does infantile hydrocephalus have

summary

Children are the pillars of our motherland, and now many families have only one child, so as parents, we all hope that our children can grow up healthily. However, if children have hydrocephalus, it will cast a shadow on their future. Hydrocephalus in children is a serious neonatal disease, if it can not be well treated, It will have a serious impact on the brain of children. In daily life, we need to pay attention to the emergence of hydrocephalus in children. So what are the precautions and treatment methods of hydrocephalus in children? Let's look down.

What treatment method does infantile hydrocephalus have

1. Drugs such as acetazolamide (acetazolamide), 100 mg / (kg · d), inhibit CSF secretion by inhibiting Na + - K + - ATPase of choroid plexus epithelial cells. Diuretic: furosemide, 1mg / (kg · d). 　

2. Non shunt surgery. In 1918, Dandy first used the method of resection of choroid plexus in lateral ventricle to treat hydrocephalus. However, because the production of cerebrospinal fluid was not limited to choroid plexus tissue, and the choroid plexus in the third and fourth ventricle was not removed, the operation effect was not accurate, so it was stopped. The third ventriculostomy is to establish a direct channel between the third ventricular floor or endplate and the peduncular cistern for the treatment of midbrain aqueduct obstruction. There are craniotomy and percutaneous puncture, the former is performed by dandy first. At present, this method is not widely used. 　　

3. Ventricular shunt. Torkldsen (1939) first reported that the lateral ventricle and cisterna magna shunt with a rubber tube is suitable for the treatment of midline ventricular tumors and aqueduct occlusive hydrocephalus. Later, the patients with midbrain aqueduct dysplasia were treated with dilation, and a rubber catheter was inserted upward from the fourth ventricle into the narrow midbrain aqueduct. Because the gray matter around the aqueduct was damaged, the mortality rate was high. Internal shunt is lateral ventricle and sagittal sinus shunt. This method accords with cerebrospinal fluid circulation physiology in theory, but it is seldom used in practice.

matters needing attention

When the child is born, we find that the child has some abnormal behaviors and symptoms, we should take the child to the hospital for examination in time. The appearance of this disease has brought serious damage to the brain of the child, and also caught the parents by surprise. Therefore, friends must understand the knowledge of hydrocephalus in children thoroughly, and the child should be treated in time if it is not timely.
