Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which the brain is abnormally large. The condition can be caused by a buildup of fluid in the ventricles, which are the spaces inside the brain that hold spinal fluid. It can also be caused by congenital malformations or other conditions that affect the development of the brain or spinal cord.
Hydrocephalus may cause symptoms such as headaches, seizures, vision problems and difficulties walking.
Diagnosis of hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is diagnosed by a medical professional. In most cases, this will be a doctor who specializes in child neurology or pediatric neurosurgery. The doctor will ask about your child’s symptoms, and conduct a physical examination. They may also order other tests to make sure there are no other issues with your child’s health.
Treatment of hydrocephalus
There are several treatment options available for hydrocephalus. In most cases, surgery is necessary to remove excess fluids from the brain. However, if surgery isn’t an option, your doctor may recommend a shunt procedure to drain the fluid from your brain.
Costs for the treatment of hydrocephalus in Germany
If you need surgery for your hydrocephalus, you can expect to pay anywhere from €30.000 to €40.000.
If you go through a shunt procedure, it will cost €20.000.
