Hydrocephalus is a condition that has a high incidence in the eye, and the main reason why hydrocephalus develops is an abnormal increase in cerebrospinal fluid in the skull. What is cerebrospinal fluid? Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless liquid that is present in the cranial cavity in the right amount, which plays an important role in health. Hydrocephalus occurs when the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the cranial cavity is impaired and too much of it slowly accumulates. The presence of hydrocephalus is still troublesome. Hydrocephalus can disrupt the patient’s brain function and lead to a variety of physical problems. For example, hydrocephalus can lead to mental retardation, patients become unresponsive and apathetic, and in severe cases, patients may become demented. Hydrocephalus also affects the patient’s mobility and can lead to incontinence. As you can see, hydrocephalus should not be taken seriously and should be detected and treated as early as possible. Currently, experts in the medical field all agree that the treatment of hydrocephalus should be based on surgery. The conventional surgical method is hydrocephalus drainage, which utilizes a shunt tube to drain the excess cerebrospinal fluid from the patient’s ventricles to other parts of the body. However, this conventional shunt surgery has a high incidence of postoperative complications, with problems such as postoperative shunt blockage and infection. In the clinic, there are some patients who have become unconscious after hydrocephalus shunt surgery, or have headache and fever. These are some of the postoperative complications. In addition, infections and blocked shunts are common, and the occurrence of these similar situations is tantamount to a wasted operation, which requires the removal of the shunt and rescheduling of the operation.
