Hydrocephalus

surgical installation of a shunt. A shunt is a tube connecting the ventricles of the brain to an alternative drainage site, usually the abdominal cavity

the treatment of hydrocephalus

I've found this in a very helpful site but i'ts a secret site for me :)

* Get regular prenatal care to reduce your risk of premature labor, which places your baby at risk of hydrocephalus and other complications. * Protect your baby or child from head injuries by using a properly installed, age- and size-appropriate child safety seat on all car trips. Make sure all your baby equipment - crib, stroller, swing, high chair - meets all safety standards and is properly adjusted for your baby's size and development. * Keep your child's immunizations up-to-date. Vaccines that prevent some types of meningitis - once a common cause of hydrocephalus - are now on the immunization schedule for healthy infants and children.

Thanks! ,

Hydrocephalus, characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, can potentially lead to precocious puberty and gelastic epilepsy, although these conditions are not commonly associated with hydrocephalus. Precocious puberty may occur due to disruption in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, which can be affected by increased intracranial pressure or structural brain changes from hydrocephalus. Gelastic epilepsy, characterized by episodes of laughter, may arise if the hydrocephalus affects the temporal lobe or other areas involved in seizure activity. However, these associations would depend on individual cases and the underlying causes of hydrocephalus.

Yes, individuals with hydrocephalus may experience temper tantrums, particularly in children. This can be attributed to various factors, including neurological impacts, frustration due to communication difficulties, or changes in mood and behavior associated with increased intracranial pressure. It's important for caregivers to understand these behaviors as part of the condition and to seek appropriate support and interventions.

No, I think you have to be born with it.

This patient's operative hydrocephalus, for which a stent was implanted for drainage.

This virus is very rare to kids 5 - 10 where the children fart or pass gas to much. It happens in the abdomen, treatucus area. It can be treated, but maybe not. You need to go to the hospital and get injected with a vacine called v6 bazoculos. You will need to get an operation to get the reiticutes vacumed out to treat it. If the procedure does not go well you may get a burning sensation in the hands or eet, overactive bladder, or in sierius casses death. If the prosedure goes well you will need to stay in the hospital for 3-4 months to recover, because you will not be able to walk.

.Where I will get the best treatment for infant hydrocaphalus in India ?

I happen to have hydrocephalus :/ and that mass could cause a blockage, requirring insertion of a shunt by neurosurgeons.

Try the link below.

It is a fatal birth defect in calves only, there are no symptoms that go with it since it is a condition that is not found in adult cattle.

== Hydrocephalus is an abnormal buildup of the brain's normal water-like fluid (cerebrospinal fluid or CSF). == Cerebrospinal Fluid is a clear fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord, providing a cushion, nutrients and carrying away waste. This fluid is made in the ventricles of the brain. The fluid then flows through a canal-like pathway over the upper surface of the brain where it enters the veins through tiny openings called arachnoid villi. == The most common ways for diagnosing hydrocephalus are the CT (computerized tomographic) scans and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). They can accurately measure the size of the fluid spaces, or ventricles, within the skull.

In special circumstances, a variety of other tests may be used. == Although generally not hereditary, hydrocephalus is either present at birth (congenital) or a result of an injury or trauma to the brain (acquired).

I have hydrocephalus and its not "viral" hydrocephalus, its congenital (i believe that's how its spelled.) anyways congenital hydrocephalus is present or detected at birth without it being in your ancestry. Genetic hydrocephalus means it was passed on from a generation or family member before you.

Hydrocephalus results when more fluid enters the brain than leaves. A blockage or swelling can stop fluid from draining. According to the NIH, The majority of cases of NPH are idiopathic (meaning of unknown cause). NPH can also develop as the result of a head injury, cranial surgery, subarachnoid hemorrhage, tumor or cysts, as well as subdural hematomas, bleeding during surgery, meningitis and other brain infections.

Hydrocephalus ex vacuole means an enlargement of brain ventricles due to brain atrophy, e.g in Alzheimer disease.

Alzheimer's is pathological similar to many diseases. You might be thinking of bovine spongiform encephalopathy or Creutzfeld Jacobs disease (CJD) in humans.

Could you please post back at let us know if your baby is having a "shunt" operation done and if not, what type of operation is your baby having? With a little more info we can research information for you. Thanks! Ask the doctors and nurses, they are there to give you information as much as look after the baby. If you don't understand what they are telling you ask them to repeat it. You have to sign the consent and look after your baby afterwards so you need to know (and are entitled to know) everything. I hope all goes well.

Of patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus who are treated with shunting, 25-80% experience long-term improvement.
