Hydrocephalus should be everyone has heard of, hydrocephalus is not people’s verbal brain into the water Oh. The formation of hydrocephalus is due to the excessive production of cerebrospinal fluid in the patient’s skull and brain or the obstacle of cerebrospinal fluid circulation and absorption, which makes the ventricles and the subarachnoid space abnormally enlarged, and triggers a series of uncomfortable symptoms. Hydrocephalus is not a small problem and should be taken seriously. Many people may think that hydrocephalus occurs in newborn babies, but in fact, there are many cases of hydrocephalus in adults. Hydrocephalus in infants may be caused by congenital causes, while hydrocephalus in adults is mostly caused by traumatic brain injury or some brain diseases. Typical symptoms of hydrocephalus in adults are headache, dizziness, vomiting, etc., and some patients may have obvious consciousness disorder. How to treat hydrocephalus in adults with enlarged ventricles? When it comes to the treatment of hydrocephalus, medical experts agree that the majority of cases require surgical intervention for a better prognosis. The conventional surgical procedure is a hydrocephalus shunt, which uses a shunt tube to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles of the brain to other parts of the body where it can be absorbed. However, this conventional shunt surgery is susceptible to postoperative complications such as shunt infection and shunt blockage. It is recommended that a modified ventriculoperitoneal shunt be performed after the cerebrospinal fluid has been drained and purified until it reaches the full standard, which can effectively reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
