External hydrocephalus?

If the patient has external hydrocephalus, these patients must see a doctor promptly. After a complete head CT, MRI examination of the patient's head can confirm the diagnosis. If the intracranial pressure is high, these patients can be treated with drugs. If the effect is not good, lumbar puncture can be performed to slowly release part of the cerebrospinal fluid. In addition, if the hydrocephalus is caused by factors such as obstruction, these patients may not be treated with conservative medicine, and the patient may need surgical treatment. In addition, symptomatic treatments such as mannitol furosemide, glycerol fructose, and human albumin may be used for dehydration and reduction of intracranial pressure. For patients with hydrocephalus, the most important is to reduce intracranial pressure.
