summary

I'm 29 years old, and I've been pregnant for more than 7 months. When I went to the pregnancy examination, the doctor seriously told me that I found hydrocephalus in my stomach. At that time, I was confused and couldn't accept it. Today, let me talk about how hydrocephalus is formed.

How is hydrocephalus formed

The first aspect: hydrocephalus can be caused by a variety of reasons, including intracranial inflammation, cerebral vascular malformation, brain trauma, various endogenous or exogenous neurotoxins, hypoxia, water and electrolyte disorders, acidosis, liver and kidney failure, etc., which can cause fluid accumulation in brain tissue through different mechanisms.

The second aspect: congenital malformations: such as mesencephalic aqueduct stenosis, diaphragm formation or atresia, atresia of foramen ventriculi (atresia of foramen medialis or lateral space of the fourth ventricle), cerebrovascular malformations, spina bifida, cerebellar tonsillar hernia, etc.

Third aspect: infection: intrauterine infection of the fetus, such as various viruses, protozoa and Treponema pallidum, can not be controlled as soon as possible, proliferative fibrous tissue blocks the circulation channels of cerebrospinal fluid, or fetal intracranial inflammation can also cause adhesion and occlusion of cerebral cistern, subarachnoid space and arachnoid granules.

matters needing attention

Hydrocephalus is very harmful to people. If it is serious, it may lead to death. Therefore, we should pay attention to the disease and go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to ensure that we will not miss the best treatment period.
