美国科学家报告说,他们用小鼠进行的实验发现,胎儿脑积水可能是一种叫做溶血磷脂酸的物质过量所致。这项发现或有助于胎儿脑积水的诊断和治疗。胎儿脑积水是一种由脑脊液过多积聚于脑室系统导致的神经管畸形,会导致新生儿脑损伤、头部异常大,可能致死。目前的治疗手段主要是通过手术植入分流装置,帮助 American scientists reported that their experiments with mice found that fetal hydrocephalus may be caused by an overdose of a substance called lysophosphatidic acid. This finding may be helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of fetal hydrocephalus. Fetal hydrocephalus is a neural tube abnormality caused by the excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricular system. It can lead to neonatal brain damage, abnormalities in the head and possible death. The current treatment is mainly through the surgical implant shunt device to help
