Hydrocephalus Treatment
Hydrocephalus is a condition caused by excess fluid buildup in the brain, which can increase pressure and affect normal brain function. It may present with symptoms like headaches, nausea, balance issues, or changes in vision and memory.
Comprehensive Care for Hydrocephalus Treatment
Hydrocephalus
The human brain and spine are oovered in a clear fluid called Cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) which provides cushion to the brain and spine from external forces. Due to some neurological problem this fluid starts accumulating inside the ventricles and increases the size of the ventricles which puts excess pressure on the brain. This condition is called Hydrocephalus. It can happen at any age but is more common in infants and older people.
The signs of hydrocephalus seen by Dr Jaspreet Singh Randhawa at his Medisyn Clinic in Mohali and Healing Hospital Chandigarh in Punjab include unusually large head with rapid increase in the size of the head. Hydrocephalus may result in vomiting, sleepiness, irritability, poor feeding, seizures and poor growth. Hydrocephalus is caused due to the imbalance between the production of CSF and its absorption by the blood stream. The most common reason for this imbalance is some kind of obstruction in the flow of the CSF from one ventricle to another. In infants this condition might be present at the time of birth.
Diagnosis & Treatment
If you experience any of the signs and symptoms as mentioned above then you should immediately see a neurosurgeon. The neurosurgeon will do a thorough physical and neurological examination followed by investigations like Ultrasound of the Brain, CT Scan or MRI Scan. Of these tests, MRI would give the maximum information and is considered as conclusive in the diagnosis of Hydrocephalus.
The most common surgical treatment for hydrocephalus performed by Dr Jaspreet Singh Randhawa at Healing Hospital Chandigarh, Punjab is Shunt surgery. In this surgery a plastic tubing is inserted in the brain with one end of the tube placed inside the ventricle and the other end is placed inside the abdomen. The tubing is inserted in such a manner it travels from the brain to the abdomen under your skin. This tube keeps draining the excess CSF from the brain into the abdomen where it gets absorbed by the body.
Another surgery which is sometimes done for the treatment by very few skilled neurosurgeons for Hydrocephalus in Punjab, India is Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy but is not very common. In this surgery the surgeon will make a hole at the bottom of one of the ventricles to drain out the excess CSF.
