please help

I haven't been through this but wanted you to get a response. I'm sorry you are going through this. How scary this must be. You didn't say how old she is.

My son did have a ct scan done at a year old because of a large increase in his head growth. We didn't see a neuro, the doc just referred us to the local children's hospital for the ct, we followed up with him & he said all looks normal.

This doctor sounds horrible for not giving you more information. Maybe you could just schedule an appt and go into the office with a list of questions. He has to make time for you if you are on the schedule. Don't wait 2 months if your not comfortable with that. You need to know more. Take care, Sam

Silversteak- Please do not wait 2 months! Fluid on the brain-hydrocephalis (not sure of the spelling) is not something to just wait and see. There can be many causes, just put fluid on brain into your search engine. I cannot believe any doctor would just send you home, I mean I believe you but not that a doctor could be so negligent! Please take your baby to her regular doctor and bring the test results, then insist on being referred to a compitent pediatric neurologist. Let us know how it goes.

talked to the doc's nurse, she said macrophelia (sp?) genetically large head, her dad adn granddad have huge heads, some fluid, not in ventricals, comes with macrophealia, they want to see her back to keep and eye on it
