His Majesty the King has received treatment for excess fluid in the spinal cord and brain at Siriraj Hospital, the Royal Household Bureau announced

In a statement issued late Friday night, the bureau said doctors adjusted a tube used to drain excess fluid after they noticed facial twitching.
"It was detected that his facial muscles had irregular movements and the doctor conducted a computer x-ray and found there was an irregular surplus of fluid in the backbone and brain," the statement said.
"The team of royal physicians corrected this by adjusting the tube in his abdomen between 6:30 pm to 7:45 pm (Friday) and the result was satisfactory," the statement added.
