Drainage tube causes intracranial infection. After the drainage tube was removed, hydrocephalus became worse. What should I do? Intracranial hydrocephalus

This is a complicated case of infection after shunt. At present, patients have clinical symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, including memory loss, dementia and urination problems, which may be related to hydrocephalus.

For this patient, the present situation and types of hydrocephalus should be evaluated in detail, and magnetic resonance 3D CISS sequence imaging is recommended. Then according to the results of lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid examination, the next treatment plan is decided. If minimally invasive endoscopic treatment can be performed, we should try our best not to place a shunt for endoscopic treatment. If endoscopic surgery is not feasible and cerebrospinal fluid conditions are good, re-shunt can be considered. If the condition of cerebrospinal fluid is still not good, Omaya blood storage pool can be placed first, and it will be diverted in the second stage of operation when the conditions are ripe.

In short, although the patient's condition is complicated, as long as the doctor is patient and the family members are confident, there are still ways to deal with it.

Those who are interested can go to our hospital for outpatient treatment and hospitalization.
