Hydrocephalus intellectual influence on the children?

Hydrocephalus is generating too much or cerebrospinal fluid absorption cycle disruption caused excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles and subarachnoid phenomenon.
Hydrocephalus the main reasons midbrain malformations, fetal brain infections, neonatal and postnatal meningitis caused the skull base adhesion, meningeal adhesion to intracranial hemorrhage, tumor cycle of oppression that blocked or cerebrospinal fluid absorption, such as bad. In addition hyperplasia or choroid plexus papilloma, increased secretion of cerebrospinal fluid can also cause hydrocephalus, but relatively rare.
Because hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid in the brain indoor constantly increasing direct intraventricular pressure increased intracranial pressure on the entire last increased pressure at the same time thinning the brain, brain back flat, shallow groove brain and the clinical symptoms appear. Hydrocephalus in the early clinical manifestations are increasing head circumference in children or rapid growth, the former on existing doors encephalocele, slit separate skull, scalp vascular dilation. As the pressure increased anterior cranial fossa, eyeball to the next, highlight the field, exposed to the upper white sclera, the eyes of children as "Sunset" sample. Also have sleepiness, lethargy or irritability, vomiting easy, regular seizures, paralysis, walking difficulties.
If not promptly dealt with hydrocephalus, it will affect the intellectual development of children. If early detection and timely treatment, mental extra back to normal. Therefore, as the baby's parents, we must carefully observed, such as found in children with the above symptoms, a doctor should be timely, so B-or CT diagnosis can help to fight for early treatment. Intracranial infection and also prevention of intracranial hemorrhage, intracranial infection or if suffering from intracranial hemorrhage should be treated promptly and thoroughly to prevent meningitis caused hydrocephalus adhesion.
