The pain and suffering caused by disease is often unimaginable, so everyone wants to avoid it. Despite all the precautions, there are still some diseases that come silently. In recent years, hydrocephalus is one of the major diseases that threaten people’s health, mainly due to the accumulation of too much cerebrospinal fluid in the brain ventricles. Many people may not be aware that excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the cranial brain can cause enlargement of the ventricular system and subarachnoid space, which can lead to a series of neurological dysfunctions and discomfort. For example, headache, vomiting, optic nerve papillary edema, vertigo and seizures may occur. It may also cause a gradual slowing of the patient’s pulse rate, increasing blood pressure, respiratory disturbances, pupil changes, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc., which is a great threat to the patient’s health and life safety. How is hydrocephalus treated? There are two types of treatment options for hydrocephalus, one is the conservative treatment that we often see, which provides temporary relief for patients with mild conditions through medication. In more severe cases, medications may not be very effective and surgery may be considered. Shunt is a common treatment for hydrocephalus, however, the conventional shunts adopted by many local hospitals may induce problems such as blockage and infection, resulting in less than ideal treatment results.
