Hydrocephalus Treatment in Rewa

Understanding Hydrocephalus Treatment in Rewa

Patients across Rewa seeking hydrocephalus treatment in rewa turn to Dr. Ashish Kumar Dwivedi for trusted, specialist treatment. Hydrocephalus is a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up inside the cavities of the brain, raising pressure and potentially damaging brain tissue. It can affect newborns, children, and adults, and may be present at birth or develop after injury, infection, or bleeding. In babies it causes an abnormally enlarged head; in adults it can cause headaches, walking difficulty, and memory problems. Dr. Ashish Kumar Dwivedi provides expert surgical treatment for hydrocephalus.

Dr. Dwivedi's Approach

Dr. Dwivedi treats hydrocephalus by restoring normal CSF drainage. The most common solution is a shunt — a thin tube that diverts excess fluid from the brain to another part of the body where it is safely absorbed. For suitable cases, an endoscopic procedure (ETV) creates a new internal drainage pathway without any implant.

Symptoms & Warning Signs

It is important to know the symptoms so you can seek timely help. These include:

• Abnormally large head in infants
• Bulging soft spot on a baby's head
• Headaches
• Nausea and vomiting
• Difficulty walking or balance problems
• Memory or concentration problems
• Downward-fixed gaze in infants

The Procedure & What to Expect

Here is what the treatment typically involves: The standard treatment is ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement — a tube with a valve drains excess CSF from the brain to the abdomen. Alternatively, endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) creates a small opening to allow fluid to drain internally, avoiding a permanent implant in selected patients.

Recovery & Aftercare

The recovery process is guided every step of the way. After shunt surgery, most patients improve quickly as the pressure is relieved. Children often resume normal development. Lifelong monitoring ensures the shunt functions properly. Dr. Dwivedi's team provides careful follow-up to detect and address any shunt issues early.
