My three-month-old grandson has an enlarged ventricle of the brain. He cries hysterically and looks of if getting panic attacks. The only time he is not crying is when he is asleep. What signs and symptoms should I look for? Does an enlarged ventricle of the brain pose a threat to his health? If so, what sort of treament can help his condition?
Enlarged ventricle can be a serious underlying condition. This condition is known as HY Chat Doctor.  It can occur due to a number of causes. Get a CT head done asap or an Ultrasound head. His excessive cry can be due to pressure symptoms, or he might be having an underlying infection. Consult a pediatrician as he might require certain investigations like CSF examination and intravenous antibiotics. Also to reduce intracranial tension, spy glycerol and tab diam ox might have to be started.
