The term hydrocephalus is derived from the Greek words "hydro " meaning " water" and " cephalus" meaning " head "
Although hydrocephalus was known as water in the head , actually
Cerebrospinal fluid ( C.S.F ) which has three important life sustaining functions : 1. to keep the brain tissue buoyant , 2. to act as the vehicle for delivering nutrients to the brain and removing , 3. to flow between the Cranium and spine and compensate for change intracranial blood volume . Hydrocephalus is most often treated by surgically inserting a shunt system . this system diverts the flow of C.S.F. from the C.N.S. to another area of the body where it can be absorbed as part of normal circulatory perocess.
Dr. Chou , answered the leading question of D.P.P. Legislator Hsiao Bi-kin : " Is Chen Shui-bian risk of suicide if he is returned to Taipei Prison " , " Yes , absolutely " , said Chou .
It is only for the Target of Medical Parole but not for his Diagnosis which is very complex over many symtoms toward depression or stroke or parkinson or ..so on ..
We have seen all the corrupting cases of Chen are seem to be against the society as a whole not just a specific person . The prison term of him more and more years from 17 and a half years to 20 and a half years for bribery and faces other additional graft charges during his time as the President of R.O.C . between 2000 and 2008 .
Alongside the medical team, DPP lawmaker Chen Chi-mai formally released results of Chou's assessment at the Legislative Yuan on Friday.
According to the report, Chen's recent urinary incontinence, dementia and gait disturbance are three classic symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus .
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder in which excess fluid builds up in the brain, causing permanent damage to nerve cells. The condition can be managed but not cured. Without treatment, symptoms often worsen and can lead to death.
Chou's report urged "immediate homecare" after shunt surgery to alleviate symptoms and to curb further deterioration.
Medical parole
At the Legislative Yuan, Chen Chi-mai urged President Ma Ying-jeou to grant Chen medical parole so that he can be transferred to a home environment.
"President Ma, the professional consensus is that homecare is the best course of treatment. Please allow the Taipei Veterans General Hospital to test out this option for Chen Shui-bian," said the lawmaker at the caucus press room yesterday.
Kuo Cheng-deng of Chen's medical team said the brain condition may have been triggered by long-term light exposure and sleep deprivation at Taipei Prison.
Chen Shui-bian, who is serving a 20-year sentence for graft and related charges, was transferred to the Taipei Veterans General Hospital last September to be treated for clinical depression and other conditions.
Kuo, who directs the division of medical research at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, said his hospital should immediately run its own diagnostic tests for normal pressure hydrocephalus.
