My best friend's child was just born a few days ago. When the doctor examined him, he found that the child had hydrocephalus.

How does darling hydrocephalus do

Method 1: General mild hydrocephalus should first try non-surgical treatment, mainly dehydration therapy and systemic support therapy. Surgical treatment is suitable for patients with high intraventricular pressure (more than 250 mm water column) or failure of non-surgical treatment.

Method 2: severe hydrocephalus, such as head circumference more than 50 cm, cerebral cortex atrophy thickness less than 1 cm, has been combined with severe dysfunction and deformity, poor surgical effect. Cerebrospinal fluid shunt is the most common method of operation. Such as ventriculo atrial shunt, ventriculo sagittal sinus shunt, ventriculo peritoneal shunt, etc. The latter is safe, less complications and more use.

Method 3: non operative treatment is suitable for patients with early stage or mild disease and slow development. The purpose is to reduce the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid or increase the water excretion of the body. Method a: diuretics, such as acetazolamide, hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, mannitol, etc., are used.
