Hydrocephalus

Hydrocephalus (pronounced hi-droh-SEF-eh-less) is a condition that makes extra spinal fluid build up in the hollow areas around the brain, causing pressure and swelling in the head. Often called water on the brain, hydrocephalus can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired (occur over time). It can happen to a child at any age, even a fetus growing in the womb. Although the cause isnt always known, it usually happens due to a medical problem so its important to diagnose it as soon as possible. At 消消消消消消消娼瞳 Children's, our goal is to treat the urgent symptoms, and find the reason for the hydrocephalus. Then we work together to make a plan for your childs long-term health and development.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/hydrocephalus.html\" target=\"_blank\">Learn More About Hydrocephalus<i></i></a></p>\r\n"}} id=text-2ea75cd150 class=cmp-text>
