Best Hydrocephalus Treatment Doctors in Poland

A condition of the brain where the cerebrospinal fluid is being accumulated abnormally in the brain and ventricles is called hydrocephalus.

This extra fluid tends to put pressure on the brain and nervous system, causing a lot of trouble and symptoms like

• Headache
• Large head size
• Seizures
• Loss of speech and control

Large head size is seen in infants as their skull bone is not fused.

To treat hydrocephalus, immediate drainage of CSF fluid is arranged by surgically inserting a tube or shunt to drain out the excessive fluid.

This tube is monitored till the symptoms subside and the patient is kept on regular follow-up.

Medicines are given which are diuretic in nature and help in flushing out the excessive fluid.

Actual reports may vary from case to case, but carrying the above reports, if you have, would be helpful when meeting the brain specialist:

• Imaging reports (CT/MRIs), peripheral nerve testing (EMG), or brain wave testing (EEG)
• Record of medical tests, results, and reports related to the condition.
• List all medications and dosages, including supplements, you are taking.

The different specialists in the Neurology department may include the following:

• Neurosurgeons provide surgical treatments to treat nervous system disorders affecting the spine, brain, hands, legs, arms, and face.
• Neurologists treat disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, such as cerebrovascular disease (stroke), multiple sclerosis, headaches, Parkinson's disease, etc.
• Neurointerventional Surgeons use minimally invasive procedures and image-based technologies to diagnose and treat head, neck, and spine diseases.
