Hydrocephalus is a neurological condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain’s ventricles. This excess fluid can increase pressure inside the skull, potentially affecting brain function and leading to serious complications if left untreated. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for preventing long-term neurological damage and improving quality of life.
Dr. Sheikh Khurshid Alam provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for hydrocephalus in both children and adults. Using advanced diagnostic tools and modern neurosurgical techniques, he develops personalized treatment plans aimed at relieving pressure on the brain and restoring normal cerebrospinal fluid circulation.
Accurate diagnosis is achieved through detailed neurological evaluation and advanced imaging studies such as MRI and CT scans. Treatment options may include cerebrospinal fluid shunt placement, endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), and other specialized neurosurgical procedures designed to reduce intracranial pressure and improve fluid drainage.
Every case of hydrocephalus is unique. Dr. Sheikh Khurshid Alam carefully assesses the underlying cause, severity, and patient-specific needs to create an individualized treatment strategy that ensures the best possible outcome and long-term management.
