What derived can a man be taking?assuming having plans to impregnate soon?
Liftedhands:
Nope! It's the first and most important drug every pregnant or woman of child bearing age should be on.

It's advised for all women who are able to bear kids to be on folic acid 400mg daily (even before trying to get pregnant) as long as the woman is sexually active to avoid spina bifida which usually occurs in the first week of pregnancy.

This is not something that should make the news, hydrocephalus is a fairly common condition . The baby needs a shunt

Looking at the other picture of her back it's obvious the mom didn't take folic acid in her early stage of pregnancy cos the baby is also suffering from neural tube defect . cry

Absolutely right.

Looks like spinal bifida.

A large percentage of babies born with spinal bifida also have hydrocephalus.

Truthfully, even with the best healthcare, chances of survival are low and chances of some form of permanent disability are high.

When you have a useless govt which cannot provide basic amenities for its citizens, this is the result. I learnt Akpabio Claimed he used Billions of naira to build a world class hospital in his state yet he ran away for medical checkup in uk when he a minor accident which requires just a pharmacist to prescribe a pain killer for him over the counter in Nigeria.
If this is Buhari child he would have fly him/her get to America or London.

If it were to be an advance country, I believe the kid would have undergone the proper surgery... Poor medical service in Nigeria... sad

This is not the first case in Nigeria, the issue here is money which the parent don't have. It costs about N200K here but her parents are poor.

200k? This is so painful cry
I doubt, my friend's baby is suffering from such. Test alone that was carried out on her is 55k. They went to India for surgery and the head is still. She is 4 years old and can neither talk nor walk.

When lack of money makes you powerless or when physicians fail, JESUS IS ALWAYS AN OPTION.

Let the parent of that baby take him/her to church. I've seen a case similar to that solved by jesus before. My advice w'd only look funny or stupid to you if you have not tasted Jesus power.

You're right, the parents should take the child to either Dunamis church in abuja or Scoan in Lagos.

This is a condition called hydrochephalus. It is a condition where there's too much fluid in the skull. An operation will be required to drain the water from the skull.

probably we need ventriculoperitoneal Shunt..

I pity this baby, they should treat her fast before its too late. Doctors advised they should kill the baby( my friend's baby). The heart wrecking thing is she had her through ivf and its her second child after 15 years.

God is more than able to heal that child. She should disregard any advice to kill her child because it is of the devil.

This Is a brain problem where ventricle chanel that takes water away from the brain is blocked either by tumor or other complications In adults. But in this case it might be as a result of the mum's different consumption of medicine or other stuff while she was still pregnant. The build up in the forehead there is accumulated water hence it's called Hydrocephalus, and it comes with severe headaches. Surgery can correct it, either by removing the tumor completely or pass shunt through the body. I pray the baby gets well soon

That baby has hydrocephalus and spinal Bifada. The baby will undergo either a shunt inplant or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) (I prefer he undergoes ETV) for the hydrocephalus and another operation for the spinal Bifada. He needs to see a neurosurgeon urgently, I recommend he sees Dr. Tayo Ojo at LUTH, he is an expert in these cases with an excellent track record.

Don't bother going to any church as they are all powerless cretins and can do nothing. The mother also has fault in this, if she went to the hospital for antenatal instead of going to churches and herbal homes, she would have been given folic acid tablets which would have prevented it.

400mg? Daily? For real? It is 5mg per tab, how do one gets that 400mg? And most prescription usually takes 1 per day which is 5mg per day.
Please educate my ignorance. Thank you
