So sorry to hear that. So, that means you will have to undergo surgery right?.....you say here we go again...so I am assuming you have been in this situation before....I am not being nosey.....I really want to know. If you read my journal you will see that I have a Great Grandson that lives with me that has Extreme Hydrocephalus...he is 3mo. old now.....and I really want to know everything I can about this condition. I will keep you in prayer Grizz.....and again, I am sorry that you have to go through this. I hope it all works our and you will be on your way to recovery once again. God bless you and take care of YOU! Sha

Do they know which section is blocked???The valve, reservoir, tubing????My son is having servere headaches with pressure noted when the Neuro Dr checked his reservoir and drained it and it fillled up...I am worried that he is going to go down hill quickly again and he may not make it this time as he is only 6yr old and weighs 20kgs...Is this how your symptoms start if you have a malfunction and some people are different???????Let me know and best wishes with your surgery again for you blockage.....

Hi! My name is Hopeful. I've had hydrocephalus all of my life(but was not diagnoised until 1997). I have had 10 surgeries since 1997. The way that you can tell that your shunt is blocked is you will get a severe headache and usually start vomiting. But when my reservoir was blocked in my shunt I had a pocket of fluid around the reservoir.
