Babies with hydrocephalus often have larger-than-average heads and bulging soft spots. They may seem overly fussy and sleepy and have episodes of vomiting or seizures.
Another sign of hydrocephalus in a baby is a fixed downward gaze known as “setting sun.”
If you are worried that your child may have hydrocephalus, you should seek immediate medical care. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to a favorable outcome.
