I have traveled all throughout my life in airplanes with congenital hydrocephalus and I've had no problems whatsoever. My last surgery was July 1st 2010.
Thank you for the video, we are going to travel with my son he has two vp shunt for the first time 4 hours flight from canada to Dr the neurosurgeon said it was ok , we are still a little nervous
How old is your son? I usually have a very positive flying experience, I have flown for 9+ hours straight and never had issues on the long flights, tbh. I have recently had some issues on shorter flights, like, up to 1 hour, but I believe this is due to having constantly to even out pressure during these types of flights-you have just gotten used to the cabin pressure after take off and you are already in a place to have to adjust to the shift during landing… longer flights I usually feel fine about. Everyone’s different, though, so I would recommend monitoring your son during take off and landing and giving him chewing gum, or something to munch on to alleviate the pressure at these times. Good luck!
@@space.for.sharing is 1 year old ; we did not travel , i wasnt confortable so we did an MRI the shunt was blocked , he had a shunt revision . Im think im going to wait until he is 5 because we scared now 😢
