People only know how valuable health is when they are sick. The occurrence of hydrocephalus can have a great impact on a person’s intelligence, vision, memory and limb movement, seriously affecting normal life and work, and in serious cases directly threatening life safety. Therefore, once you have hydrocephalus, you should go to a regular hospital to receive treatment to avoid the problem from becoming more serious. How to treat hydrocephalus? This is a question that most people are concerned about. The treatment of hydrocephalus emphasizes personalized treatment, and different types of hydrocephalus have different symptoms and different treatment methods. Traffic hydrocephalus is a common type of neurosurgery caused by malabsorption or overproduction of cerebrospinal fluid and impaired excretion, mainly manifested as intracranial hypertension, headache, vomiting, diplopia and optic nerve papilledema. With the help of medical imaging, traffic hydrocephalus can be diagnosed with a general enlargement of the ventricles and a normal or absent sulcus on CT and MRI, combined with medical history, lumbar cerebrospinal fluid drip test and cerebrospinal fluid pressure measurement if necessary. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment can be performed surgically. People often ask if a fistula is effective in cases of hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus fistulas are one of the common surgical procedures used to treat hydrocephalus. Traffic hydrocephalus is not very effective through hydrocephalostomy, and a shunt is still recommended. Although the traditional shunt is simple to operate and the operation time is short, some people may have some complications after the operation, such as infection and blockage of the shunt. Currently, there is a modified cerebrospinal fluid shunt, which is a feasible solution for the treatment of traffic hydrocephalus by performing shunt treatment while purifying the cerebrospinal fluid with significant effect and few complications.
