| I recently found out that my 1 month old has been diagnosed with hydrocephalic. I am so scared that he is not going to be able to live having a normal life. He has to have a shunt for the rest of his life and it can always fail, but will my son either die from it or have mental retardation in the future to come for him? ↑ |

| We live in NC. My grand daughter has Dandy-walker, vater, & hydrocephalus. She is almost 8mths old and is our biggest joy, our little angel. For all her birth defects, we are blessed that she has the least symptoms or signs..she had a shunt placed at 1 day old with a revision and then infection, having to have a new shunt placement. But she is a fighter. We were so terrified and felt so alone when we found out at my daughters 5 mth ultrasound. It seems like we've been holding our breath for all these months & now we can breath. So if anyone ever needs to talk or have any questions, feel free to email [email protected] ↑ |

My child was not diagnosed with it but his Neurologist has mentioned it as well as he said the reasons for his problems is because of his small head.
I have a 4 year old child with mild Cerebral Palsy as well as seizures and global developmental delays.

| I was born with hydrocephalus and I am 29 years old. I have to shunts and had constant pressure in my head for four yeards .has anyone heard of having three shunts in the skull at the same time? (One outside the cyst and two shunts inside the cyst) the doc said the cyst is so big it needs two shunts to drain it. I had two shunts replaced 16 years ago and never had a problem until 2007. ↑ |

| I was born with hydrocephalus and had two shunts put in the back of my head. I went back to the hospital last august and they said I needed a thirs shunt because the cyst is so big. My eyes hurt bad for four years and the new shunt is in. Why is my eyes still hurting so bad? And why do I feel ill and irritable like I'm dying? I don't understand because the doctor keeps telling me I'm ok when something doesn't seem right with me ↑ |

| Hi moms, i need advice/help/support! I have a 3 year old boy that has Hydrocephalus w/ a vp shunt. it was placed when he was 3months old. We (Thank god) have had no revisions no complications. My concerns as of now are phycological and emotional. We just had a visit with our neurosurgoen and he recomended seeing a neorologist. Im confused as to why now? Yes i feel he does need to be properly evaluated being he is very emotional and angry but i dont understand why it took so long? or what is different now that made this necessary? Secondly i am Left at a blank when trying to explain to a 3year old why he has a lump on his head when his 4year old sister does not? Very frustrating and confusing when your 3 and 4 year olds are fighting over wanting the lump on their head. Another question is should i start explaining to him what he has or atleast why we go and take so many "pictures" of his head and belly? if so how do you tell a 3 year old he has a vp shunt? Any help would be great i feel alone and frustrated and tired and my engine is running out of steam here. ↑ |

| My little man was diagnosed in utero with hydrocephalus at 35 weeks. He had a ventricularostomy at three weeks and then a shunt placed in at three weeks.we recently found out he has left visual field loss in his eyes and is not curable.He also has left sided weakness. we told today he may have autism and be having seizures as well. I feel so alone if there is anyone that could chat to to help me cope please contact me. ↑ |

| I was born with Hydrocephalus and had a shunt replaced ar 2 days old. I have a lazy eye that was caused from the bleed. Yet it is only noticed when I am tired. I have terrible depth preception when driving,Along with ADD. Causing me to have severe problems paying attention. As well as fine motor skills. It is very hard to work and do small tasks with my hands. Does anyone else have or know anyone who has these problems? I would love to talk. ↑ |

| I know how you feel, those with children with this condition, or adults still living with it. Hi, I hope this is okay, but I wanted to share with you. Today is the birthday for my late son, Robert Joshua-Lee. My Robbie was a sweet boy, who never asked for his condition but was given it anyway. Hydrocephalus is out there and it is real. My son, was born on this day, 2nd Feb. 2005 with this condition, and lived with it for a good stretch of 22 months. Such a meager life for a boy that should been able to run around in the yard with his sisters, but never got that chance. Not a day goes by, that Robbie isn't on my mind. I miss my special little boy, and for those that know what it's like to lose a family member, let alone one of your own kids. the pain hits all too hard on their birthday. So excuse me for crying, and being upset today, but this is going to be how I deal with today, becos it has been 9 years, since my little guy was born, and would be celebrating his 9th birthday if he were still alive. I miss you son, Why did you have to leave me? ↑ |
