What reason is hydrocephalus

summary

Infection and congenital malformation may lead to hydrocephalus, which is a very serious disease and needs effective prevention. Let's see what causes hydrocephalus.

What reason is hydrocephalus

One of the reasons: congenital malformation: it may be related to the exposure of parents to some chemical and radioactive substances, fever in early pregnancy, taking some drugs, abnormal fetal position, polyhydramnios, etc. The most common malformations are spina bifida and midbrain aqueduct stenosis.

The second reason: infection: such as purulent meningitis, tuberculous meningitis, ventriculitis, etc., due to the proliferation of fibrous tissue blocking the circulation channel of cerebrospinal fluid, especially in the fourth ventricular foramen and subarachnoid adhesion at the bottom of the brain and hydrocephalus.

The third reason: hemorrhage: fibrous hyperplasia after intracranial hemorrhage can cause hydrocephalus. Poor absorption of intracranial hemorrhage after birth injury is also a common cause of neonatal hydrocephalus, which is often ignored. Hydrocephalus is caused by subarachnoid adhesion caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage after brain injury.

matters needing attention

Animal fat should be limited in the diet of patients with hydrocephalus and hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis. Keep the child lying flat, avoid placing the shunt tube under pressure for a long time, and pay attention to protect the child's head without any injury.
