Hydrocephalus

Advanced Neurosurgical Care by Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore

Hydrocephalus is a neurological condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulates within the brain’s ventricles. As a result, increased pressure builds up inside the skull, which can damage brain tissues and impair neurological function.

In many cases, hydrocephalus may develop in infants, children, adults, or elderly patients. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely neurosurgical treatment are essential to prevent permanent brain damage and improve long-term outcomes.

With this critical need in focus, Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore provides advanced hydrocephalus treatment in Nanded using safe, proven, and modern neurosurgical techniques.

Types of Hydrocephalus Treated

Hydrocephalus can occur due to various underlying causes. Because of this, identifying the type of hydrocephalus is crucial for selecting the correct treatment approach. Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore treats:

• Congenital Hydrocephalus (present at birth)
• Acquired Hydrocephalus (due to injury, infection, or tumor)
• Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) in elderly patients
• Post-Traumatic Hydrocephalus
• Post-Hemorrhagic Hydrocephalus

After detailed clinical evaluation and imaging, a personalized treatment plan is formulated to ensure safe and effective fluid diversion.

Symptoms That Require Medical Attention

Symptoms of hydrocephalus vary depending on age and severity. However, early signs should never be ignored. Common symptoms include:

In Infants & Children

• Enlarged head size
• Bulging soft spot (fontanelle)
• Vomiting or irritability
• Developmental delay

In Adults & Elderly

• Persistent headaches
• Difficulty walking or imbalance
• Memory problems or confusion
• Urinary incontinence
• Vision disturbances

If these symptoms are observed, immediate neurosurgical consultation is recommended. By intervening early, brain damage can often be prevented.

Advanced Hydrocephalus Treatment Options

Modern hydrocephalus management focuses on reducing pressure while preserving brain function. Accordingly, Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore offers advanced and reliable treatment options.

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) Shunt Surgery

A VP shunt helps divert excess fluid from the brain to another part of the body. As a result, intracranial pressure is reduced and symptoms improve.

Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV)

In suitable cases, endoscopic treatment is preferred. Consequently, patients avoid lifelong shunt dependence and experience faster recovery.

Revision & Complex Shunt Surgeries

When shunt malfunction or infection occurs, revision surgery may be required. Therefore, careful evaluation and timely correction are performed.

Benefits of Timely Hydrocephalus Treatment

• Relief from raised intracranial pressure
• Prevention of permanent brain damage
• Improvement in mobility and cognition
• Better developmental outcomes in children
• Enhanced quality of life

Because hydrocephalus is a progressive condition, early expert care makes a significant difference.

Post-Treatment Care & Recovery

Recovery after hydrocephalus surgery requires structured follow-up. Initially, patients are monitored for neurological improvement. Subsequently, routine check-ups and imaging ensure shunt or ETV function.

At the same time, patients and caregivers are educated about warning signs. Through continued care, long-term outcomes remain favorable.
