Which doctor treats obstructive hydrocephalus in kids effectively?

My daughter is challenging with obstructive hydrocephalus.so you are suggesting me.who is the best doctor to my baby?

Answered on 11th Jan '25

Symptoms may include headaches, vomiting, blurred vision, and changes in behavior. This condition arises when fluid accumulates in the brain, often due to blockages. Seeking advice from a pediatric neurologist or neurosurgeon specialized in this area is essential for proper diagnosis and management. They can recommend effective treatment options, which may include surgery to relieve pressure. I encourage you to reach out to a local children's hospital for a referral to a qualified specialist.

my grandmother went into a coma caused by hepatic encephalopathy. she was completely fine until her hands started trembling and she started vomiting one morning. there were no symptoms before that. she does have liver cirrhosis. she was taken to a hospital approximately 12 hours after this happened and placed into an ICU with a ventilator. she regained consciousness in about 24 hours, after the ammonia had been flushed out from the brain and the chest. she was in critical condition, but has been recovering well. now off the ventilator she does have noticeable personality changes yet good memory. this to me is extremely scary. she also seems less aware of the environment and takes longer to answer. could these affects be temporary or permanent?

Female | 70

Hepatic encephalopathy, which is the cause of her coma, can result in some temporary changes in personality and slow thinking. This is because the liver is not functioning properly and the toxins are building up in the brain. However, these effects might be lessened with treatment and time.

Do my son need shunt surgery

Male | 19

I cannot provide personalized medical advice or diagnose online. If you are concerned about your son's health and whether he needs shunt surgery, consult with a professional pediatrician or a neurosurgeon. Shunt surgery is recommended for individuals with hydrocephalus or other conditions that cause an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, leading to increased pressure and damage to brain tissue.
