Excellent listening and reading others' comments. At age 70 in 2021, I had my 3rd brain surgery. This one to have a VP SHUNT installed. The day after surgery, I was a new person. Despite foot neuropathy, my walking and talking improved. My incontinence also slowed down, although it might be back now. One of the best outcomes is that my memory has returned. I can remember entire paragraphs in conversations. As for subdural hematomas, I had a bad one in 2020, with a drain implanted for 7 days until the blood was gone. Before, I could only say the word "I ". The day after drain implantation, I was able to speak again, as well as pass all tests of the hospital staff. I was allowed to walk around the hospital floor without accompaniment, using my "Upwalker". When it comes to my brain, I always want to know more. 1st neurosurgery, 2019 for meningioma behind my left eye against optic nerve. I am fairly blind in that eye. Thank you.
I'm a little frustrated... I had a shunt placed when I was TWENTY! I'm now 37- pediatric or elderly patient concerns are not super helpful to me. It's so great to know that there are enough people with Hydrocephalus to warrant conferences and an association, but where are people in my age range????
I had my shunt placed in 1973. At birth. I am chasing a review as my shunt will be 50 years old. I got missed from childhood to adulthood. Shunt malfunctioned again in 2017. Discharged again. Back to GP again, on waiting list for neurology AGAIN
@@barraqaalim7459 ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE A FORMULA CAN CURE HYDROCEPHALUS?!!! YOU ARE GIVING PEOPLE FALSE HOPE AND POSSIBLY MAKING THIER CONDITION WORSE! I have hydrocephalus! I know what helps! It's called surgery, management, and JESUS! 🤬🖕
My shunt, 1991!!! Getting ready for my first revision. The headaches, blurred vision and all the other symptoms that come with shunt malfunction, needs to go away.
Thanks for this information. My husband, age 72 has NPH, he will be going in next week for his 3rd placement, started in belly, moved then 4 months later to atrium, now is is not working at all so that is why he goes back in to find out what malfunction is next week. He was diagnosed April 2018, it is now April 2019.
Initially I saw an improvement to his old self after 1st shunt placement, However, after about 3 weeks it was back to pre shunt symptoms. the second one, hardly any improvement. Yesterday we had 3rd one done, the neurosurgeon did find a slice that did not allow proper drainage .in the shunt that she cut off and fixed. He was fine after he immediate placement in observation, however, after about 15 minutes he appeared really confused. We ended up spending the night in the hospital. I am hoping all this confusion may be result of anesthesia, he can go along for a few hours fine, and suddenly gets very irritable. So now we just wait and see the results after surgery healing. I was so hopeful that this would be the answer that so many people have found after the shunt. It is still a wait and see for me. @@TwasSoBrillig
He is blessed to have you reading and researching and standing by him god bless you both you are a great women to be his eyes and ears my husband is mine I wish u a speedy recovery and nothing but peace
Is there any way to get in touch with this doctor? I have an unusual long history of hydrocephalus not normal pressure hydrocephalus but it is complicated it would be very beneficial to me to talk to him I think considering that I have been running into some serious brick walls
My autistic, non verbal son just had a shunt installed after an incident with only vomiting the sign of increased pressure. Is anyone making or having trials of a incorporated pressure monitor to give signs of failure?
Anyone who got better wihout a shunt? My mom can’t go through the operation because of age and other medical complications... We are thinking about osteopath....

Hello, would you say that it was worth going through with the initial procedure? Did you see marked improvement?
