My 2 mth old son (dob 6/1) was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus at birth.
My question is: What would cause his head to grow at faster rate that normal, but not haveing any presurer and his ventricles not enlarging anymore than they were 1 mth ago.
His head was 39 cm at birth, 43 1/2 at 2 mths (7/29) and now almost one month later (8/25) his head is at 45 cm..would this be considered normal head growth without complication from the Hydrocephalus? He had an ultra sound yesterday (8/24) and there appeared to be no change in the size of his ventricles and his presurer numbers...Is this the correct way to measure his progession?
Thank you for your advice and since of direction reguarding our son.
