For this reason, very anxious Mr. Li, ask editorial department help him ask brain of child accumulate hydroenergy, disappear by oneself? Will this kind of situation influence intelligence? Mr. Li's question, we specially ask the expert.
Answer
Suppurative meningitis is a common acute infective disease of centre system caused by suppurative bacterium, it is in the majority to have illness coming on with infant and pre-school children. Suffer from meningitis, suppuration apt to stop up light narrow passage or take place to ooze out thing adhesion cause the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to circulate the obstacle, producing hydrocephalus sequela, your child should belong to this kind of situation.
Brain leave obstructing hydrocephalus on moisture ' Non- traffic hydrocephalus) With traffic hydrocephalus, do not know which kind your child belongs to. Obstructing hydrocephalus is main because the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulates the obstacle to result in obstructing, traffic hydrocephalus mainly results from the reason that bottom of brain and omentum inflammation of spider on the surface of brain cause the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to absorb the obstacle. Whether it has hydrocephalus that general CT or MRI can be clear, distinguish obstructing hydrocephalus and traffic hydrocephalus.
Hydrocephalus except that a few pass drug therapy ' Such as nitrogen amide of vinegar) Reduce the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to turn into temporarily, or not been treated by oneself and has relieved symptom, stopped developing outside, most hydrocephalus need surgery treat, should consider the early surgery treatment to hydrocephalus that condition develop quickly especially.
The hydrocephalus prognosis differs significantly, is mainly decided by cause of disease and pathological change intensity. If can radically treat the obstructive reason, probably totally cure, intelligence development is not influenced either. It is very natural and resting to probably have condition of the infants of 1/3, no longer develop. Obstruct reason relieve or amalgamate other in congenital malformation while being difficult, prognostic difference, influence intelligence.
