What symptom does infantile hydrocephalus have?

Most of them begin to grow in a few weeks after birth, and are gradually found after 3-5 months. There are also cases of brain enlargement at birth. In clinical practice, the abnormal progressive enlargement of the head caused by increased intracranial pressure is out of proportion to the development of the whole body. The forehead protrudes forward, the orbital apex is compressed downward, the binocular ball looks down, and the eyeball turns down, causing the upper sclera to show white,

The anterior fontanelle is enlarged and the tension is increased. Other fontanelles can also be enlarged. The cranial suture is separated and the scalp vein is expanded. Percussion of the head showed "broken pot sound". In infants with patent sutures and increased intracranial pressure, compensatory cranial enlargement may occur, so the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure may not be obvious in the early stage. However, hydrocephalus can also occur when it is serious and develops rapidly, and its symptoms are repeated vomiting.

Brain degeneration, brain development disorders, central paralysis of limbs, especially the lower limbs, often with intellectual changes and developmental disorders. Optic nerve compression atrophy, can cause blindness. Nystagmus and convulsion were also common. It is often accompanied by deformities in other parts of the body.

matters needing attention

First of all, we should pay attention to health care during pregnancy, pregnant women should try to reduce exposure to chemicals. Stay away from radiation and radioactive elements. Don't use abortion drugs and fetal transfer drugs indiscriminately. Don't believe in the so-called "female to male" ancestral secret recipe and take drugs indiscriminately. For rubella virus, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, Epstein Barr virus, Toxoplasma gondii infection and other suspected causes of hydrocephalus in pregnant women and pregnant women with fever, we should closely observe the fetal development, and check in regular hospitals on time.
