My shunt has not been giving me any trouble.

I had a spinal shunt implanted in '99 and that worked for a while, but the cyst that caused the problem originally is growing back, so I got a head shunt last October. I still have headaches, but I'm functional.

works pretty good ive had the same one for 12 years.

The shunt seems to be working ok. Arianna has formed a small marble like ball on her shunt and has to wear headbands to keep the fluid down. When we got to Rileys they said that was very common.

it seems to be working great. she was suffering from apnic episodes before the shunt because the pressure. she is having less episodes and is smiling and cooing.

have had if revised a few times also have Magnetic piece.

My shunt was put in 6 years ago and still working really well i havent had any shunt trouble.

I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor and hydrocephalus at 8 yrs. old. I originally had a VP shunt placed in 1991. In 2002 I developed an infection in the shunt canal. The shunt was removed and I had the ETV procedure done. I have been shunt free for six years without any complications. I now am able to live my life symptom free and worry free.

I've had 8 shunt related surgeries. Some were blockages, others were infections. I've also had 4 valves in all and only had the entire shunt replaced once.

I have had numerous revisions and complications (brief paralysis eplipesy and coordnation problems) I have have clinical depression and ADHD.
