What are the symptoms of hydrocephalus in infants?
Disease description:
A relative's child was diagnosed with hydrocephalus. I'd like to ask, what are the symptoms of infantile hydrocephalus?
Infant hydrocephalus mainly presents with increased head circumference, percussion-induced vibration, headache, vomiting, visual impairment, urinary incontinence, or gait disturbance. Infant hydrocephalus may be caused by congenital malformations, infections, intracranial tumors, intracranial hemorrhage, and is also associated with trauma. Early detection and treatment are recommended. Medical treatment options include medications such as digoxin or dexamethasone; consult your doctor. Surgical intervention is also possible, and proper daily care is essential. If body temperature rises, prompt and effective cooling measures should be taken.
