For patients with hydrocephalus, it is generally recommended to treat the condition surgically. Before the surgery, the patient should undergo a cranial CT or MRI to assess the type and severity of the hydrocephalus. If possible, a lumbar puncture should also be performed before the surgery to determine whether there is a significant increase in intracranial pressure, and a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid should be collected for routine and biochemical analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid. If there are no obvious contraindications to surgery, clinically, it is generally recommended to choose a ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery. Most patients respond well to the surgery, and the morphology of the ventricular system gradually returns to normal.
