Is it occasionally possible for babies to outgrow their shunt and not need it anymore?

My mom ended up in the ER twice this past March. The 2nd trip to the ER doc said they thought she had NPH. She can’t get in to see a neurologist until OCTOBER. She’s now in a memory care facility. Rich privilege is real.

Which symptom is a clear indication of NHP since there are so many things that can mimic it? How can a patient get correctly diagnosed?

NPH is not that serious compared to actual brain cancer.

My good friend had hydrocephalus, and lived well with for five years after diagnosis, before having a seizure last July, and passing away on April 28.

Dr. Sanjay, I didn't think I could like and respect you any more than I already did. Love knowing you're a Billy Joel fan, too.

My son had congenital hydrocephalus. Last year we found out his shunt was broken. Dr said since he’s not symptomatic, it must have somehow resolved. He’s 26. Prayers for all who deal with it.

Just this week, my mom, who is 80-years old, was just diagnosed with NPH. It is early, so we’re praying her treatment is successful!

Does the shunt go outside the body into the abdomen or is it somehow through the body?

Face it folks. America’s FOR PROFIT healthcare system is awful. We’ve been calling for a national option for decades, but no, Americans were terrified by the world “socialized” medicine. Well, Medicare is socialized and it’s been awesome. Now the GOP wants to totally privatize that! Advantage plans are the worse privatized plans. Well, why wouldn’t they be? It’s Medicare + paying a FOR PROFIT corporation! 😳
