Hydrocephalus treatments are not one-size-fits-all.
For some patients, a VP shunt may be used to drain excess fluid from the brain to another part of the body, where it can be absorbed.
For selected patients, especially certain cases with a blockage, an endoscopic procedure called ETV may help create a new pathway for fluid flow.
The right approach depends on the patient’s condition, symptoms, scan findings, and overall health.
Most importantly, hydrocephalus care does not end after treatment; regular follow-up helps doctors monitor progress and detect possible issues early 🩺
