Patients with episodic hydrocephalus may have clinical manifestations such as headache, vomiting, and impaired consciousness.
Hydrocephalus can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as cerebrospinal fluid circulation disorders, cerebrospinal fluid absorption disorders, excessive cerebrospinal fluid secretion, cerebral atrophy, etc. Due to the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, it can lead to headache, nausea, vomiting, optic papillae edema and other manifestations of increased intracranial pressure.
With the aggravation of the disease patients may develop consciousness disorders such as lethargy and coma, as well as impaired neurological functions such as slow reaction, impaired vision and decreased attention, which may lead to death in severe cases.
Therefore, patients should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time when hydrocephalus manifests itself, so as to avoid delaying the condition and leading to serious consequences.
