News case
Maternal Li Qin (a pseudonym) at the time of childbirth and childbirth, the hospital informed the children of physical health, but nine months later her daughter Peas (a pseudonym) found severe hydrocephalus. Li Qin believes that the hospital's behavior to her and children caused With great pain and loss, a hospital in Fangshan District was brought to the court for compensation.
The brain is the body's most important organ. Hydrocephalus can be caused by a variety of causes. The cause of hydrocephalus is relatively complicated. So far it is not very clear. The risk of hydrocephalus in the fetus can be increased due to increased maternal times. The incidence of hydrocephalus in two or more children has risen significantly. Therefore, the promotion of knowledge of eugenics and reduction of parity is an effective way to prevent hydrocephalus.

What is hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus is a medical vocabulary. To understand what hydrocephalus is, we must first understand the cerebrospinal fluid circulation in normal people. There are some cavities inside the human brain. We call it the ventricle, which is filled with The fluid secreted by the ventricle is clear and transparent, and is called cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebrospinal fluid is produced in the brain's inner chamber and flows down the certain tract to the surface of the brain and spinal cord. It “bubbles in†and acts as a buffer. The role of nutrient nerves. CSF is secreted every day while it is continuously absorbed. A dynamic balance is achieved between the two. The patient with hydrocephalus is because this balance is broken, the generation is greater than absorption, resulting in the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid In the cranial cavity, oppression of brain tissue causes the brain tissue to shrink and thin, resulting in a series of symptoms.
Is hydrocephalus congenital? Is hydrocephalus harmful?
Hydrocephalus is caused by congenital, but also due to the formation of acquired disease. Some people know that congenital hydrocephalus, the so-called "big-headed doll", is that after birth, its head circumference is larger than the normal baby, if not treated soon Prematurely, there are also cases where hydrocephalus due to impaired cerebrospinal fluid absorption after intracranial hemorrhage caused by trauma, congenital vascular malformations, or other causes of the hydrocephalus circulation caused by tumors, parasites, etc. is blocked. Among children's cases, there are mostly congenital causes.
As mentioned above, the harm of hydrocephalus is that it oppresses the brain tissue, causing normal brain function and the development of brain tissue to be affected. Generally, as the time goes by, the degree of hydrocephalus will gradually increase, and severe hydrocephalus can cause The brain tissue is pressed to only a thin layer, which will gradually affect the children's intelligence, development, daily life ability, until the death.
What are the symptoms of hydrocephalus and how to find it early
Symptoms of hydrocephalus are mainly anomalously increased head circumference, with enlarged and full anterior fontanelle. The scalp "blue veins" is revealed, and the head is heavy and difficult to support; if the intracranial pressure is heavier, the children often have irritability, drowsiness and loss of appetite. , occasional vomiting or convulsions; if the time is longer, there will be growth retardation.
The simplest method of initial investigation is to measure the head circumference and compare it with the normal development indicators: use a soft ruler to go from the glabella to the most prominent place on the back of the back head. The measured number of centimeters is the head circumference. Generally, 1 month is surrounded by head circumference. About 38cm, 3 months are about 40cm, 6 months are about 43cm, 12 months are about 46cm, 18 months are about 48cm, and it can be used as a rough reference. If there is abnormality, you can go to the hospital for an examination, preliminary Check to make head CT to confirm whether there is ventricular widening, if there is hydrocephalus, you need to do cranial magnetic resonance (MRI) examination to determine the type of hydrocephalus, the cause to determine the treatment program.
Early prenatal diagnosis for prenatal diagnosis and early termination of pregnancy to prevent hydrocephalus in children with hydrocephalus is an important way to prevent the birth of hydrocephalus due to obvious hydrocephalus through 12-18 weeks of pregnancy Ultra-detection so we must strengthen the use of B ultrasound in prenatal diagnosis and early termination of pregnancy to prevent the birth of children with hydrocephalus to reduce the birth rate of congenital hydrocephalus.
