Is been 6 Years for me since I had a shunt mi life is diferent but I'm still I live and that is the most important thanks to the science and God 💙💚
yeah its my second year. You really just feel limited in life once you have it in :/
@@user-pc2lq7ml3o the sadness on this is that nothing will be the same your life changes 180 degrees and the fear that you live with is too stressful but you get over it with time 💙💚
@@ampycaballero3869 thank you for replying it feels good to have someone to talk to about this. I’m definitely hoping the stress will go down with time. :))
I only had mine till the Hydrocephalus drained, but left me partially blind, with hypo pituitarism, and speech issues. Speaking much better meow. 😻👍 But still blind and really sick. 4 med cycles with 4 insulin shots daily. The Lord has plans for us.
@@user-pc2lq7ml3o - It Will. I was right there. Starting in 2013. Tell me what happened, you have to keep telling the story. That’s how it helped me.
My mother recently had this surgery and by the grace of GOD, she doing well. Thank GOD for technology
I had SAH mid August 2020. My EVD off after nearly 7 weeks in ICU. Too much blood to drain. Thanks God is was over and hopefully forever. 🤞🏾
Were you in coma ? For how long
You were unconscious?
Had mine was in 2013.
Tanks god. glad for U
My mother took Evd treatment but she's having memory issue so howmuch time to recovery in memory
If Salman had an operation yesterday, thank God, the operation was successful, so pray that he recovers quickly and comes home.
Prayers your love one does 🙌
Great break down of the procedures and processes :)
My mother just suffer another stroke today and they found out she have one of ther vessels bleeding. I know she can, no I know she will survive this because she been through alot of surgeries and beaten all of them with power of the Almighty Yaweh behind her. I know she will beat this surgery tomorrow too and I can feel it.
hope she made through
Any update? My father just had one today
Outstanding explanation! 👍👏
I had one of these put in 2013. I had a Hydrocephalus due to a colloid cyst between the 4th & 3rd Ventricle, that shifted my Greater Sulcus 10 mm to the right, and down crushing my pituitary glad and optic Chiasm. I have visual field loss and have Hypopituitarism. 4 med cycles, which include 4 insulin injections. Very sick.
Yet I was given a chance to get closer to the Lord. If I was any where else, 2 weeks either side of that headache day, I would not have made it. 90% Die.
I hope you are okay
@@daisykim23- Thank You So Much, MEOW. It was a Blessing!!!
I’m not any better physically, I will have to have meds and I will need medical care for the rest of this Life.
But the Lord pulled me out of Death, into Life. We don’t know when our time is up. I am choosing to Forgive and Love these days.
I am well enough to go on a mission trip riding a trike with a Cross Flag, across America.
🌼😺👍
Glad you made it man keep on keeping on
Hello sir! Did you remove the cyst?
I hope you are well now
This give me a lot of experience
Nice grammar bud 👍😂🍺
@@KYIRIM 😂😂😂😂😂
I was born with congenital hydrocephalus in September of 1988 and have had 6 shunt revisions in my life. The last of which was July 1, 2010.
Thank you
I had my shunt put in last year and also had brain tumour removed
How r you now
Very Helpful
Ive had EVD’s twice in my life. No doubt they helped save my life but they aren’t fun at all!
Why
great ! thanx!
Is there any other option? Aside from getting an operation? And what is the risk for a 80 yr old patient to have this kind of operation
I had an EVD in 2013, to reduce my hydrocephalus. I think they tried Lasix to have my body get rid of the fluid. I don’t fully remember that time, except my daughter whom stayed by my side. I’m pretty sure she is the reason I pulled through. When she was born, her hair was the most magnificent gold color, as if she was an Angle that just came from heaven. I Love You Jade!!! 🤟😻👍
Can someone help me? My uncle is currently have this on him, though right now, his hose right on his head, on his scalp, is leaking the liquid, although he's fine I know he's not because he keep wailing and having headaches. Is it still safe? His dictor keep saying it's fine but Idk. Help
Sedation is given if needed?😯

I feel like I have fluid build
Up in my head like sinus won’t drain and I can’t take antibiotics as they harmed my heart and made me go into a seizure. I’m constantly pushing on my head sinus areas and they never drain. Is this something I need done or a different procedure.
First off, no. The sinuses are more anterior or farther forward. Secondly, have you tried decongestants, Benadryl or the like, with ample amounts of drinking water. Maybe a Nettie pot or Navage would help. It could flush out and break open those tiny drains in your face. Maybe first, warm your face with a warming pad. Did you ever have significant facial trauma?
Sir would any professional allow the patient after performing ventriculostomy to be transferred to another hospital just because the MRI is not working in that hospital, by ambulance, right the next day after gaining consciousness? I mean, should the Doctor not let the patient move until recovery?
@ANDREW BUDDE Wondering why neurologist Dr. clamped my sister drain that's still in hospital and still had blood draining? She tried it for 24 hrs and my sister started back to having swelling on her brain. Do you know as to why?
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT THIS PROCESS? MY 3yr OLD SON MIGHT HAVE TO HAVE THIS DONE
Could you elaborate on the regular CSF mechanisms of reabsorption?
I had a retro-sigmoid surgery for removal of giant (51x40x30mm) vestibular schwannoma, which had caused also a hydrocephalus because if nothing else it had flattened the 4th ventricle and as I understand it blocked the circulation and reabsorption of CSF.
about 6 weeks ago I had my now regular MRI to check for tumor's remainder growth, and the condition of the ventricles.
And while the tumor remainder was ok - not growing so far,
the 2 lateral ventricles were inflated (mostly in width) with about 5mm,
and the 3rd ventricle with ~1mm.
I understand that I'll need a ventricular shunt (the permanent one that drips in my belly), but I wonder what the blockage is, as I was told by the doctor that 4th ventricle is no longer flattened, and had restored its normal size (but perhaps not its function?) ... also in previous MRI images I saw that the whole area of where the tumor was, and the surgical approach were filled with I assume mix of CSF and some blood perhaps ... so I wonder if some of that can contribute to the blockage of reabsorption of CSF.
Thank you for your message. We cannot answer medical questions on this page, but you may be able to get an answer on our FAQs page. cle.clinic/3kdjXDV

My father had an internal vp shunt in order to decrease the csf increase in his brain and about 1 and half years several seizures were occured. He was admitted to the hospital and the doctor said that the vp shunt was blocked.
After that?
@@rohandebbarma24 they recomend another operation to replace the shunt to the left side...but there are some risk which that the shunt may again get blocked. So we don't replaced it. Thankfully there is no occurrence of seizures for the past year.
@@itsmeakshaynahow is your father now?
@@rs-no1ju sadly my father was passed away 1 december this year.....we couldn't take him to the hospital....he got cardiac arrest....after the shunt operation the doctor's where said that anything could have happen if the shunt got blocked......he has other complications too.....we were undergoing very difficult time......
@@itsmeakshayna sorry for your loss. Please be strong.
My apologies for this question, but Is this something insurance would cover?

I have a vp shunt after my stroke
👍👍
My mom just had shunt surgery and it draines into her stomach. She is doing terrible, and she vomited bile/gall. After this the doctors eventually told my dad, that my mom's stomach was too tense once they started the surgery and did a CT to see if she has cancer. A friend of the family who is also a surgen (not a neurological one) said that it stinks, bcoz my mom's stomach shouldn't have been tense if she haven't eaten, and worries, that she got a stomach outerlayer infection/inflamation (forgive my way of expressing myself, but English isn't my first language, and I'm not even sure what I wanna say in my own motgertongue).
To sum it all up, and why I'm writing this comment is to ask, if this shunt surgery could have caused my mom's nauseas and all that, or what could be going on with her? If just draining the fluid first, why did they start by inserting a shunt? (She has a non-cancerous tumor, which is 2-3 cms tall, that they want to cure by radiation in the next year).
I just feel terribly sorry for my mom, beacuse I know she really must be suffering as she looks after us even when she herself is ill. I don't know how could I help her.
Almost same happens with my dad.
He has tumor (non-cancer) and then this vp shunt operation.after he also feels like vomiting,nausea like.. sometimes fever also.
And still the fluid is there. It's not draning out properly which causes difficult in walking, weakness, etc..
Now vomiting is not there
I will suggest you to give patience. Motivate your mother. Might she forgots the silly things. Dont travel specially in the flight.
This vomiting will be there for few months and some Gastric problems also.
My father concerned ayurvedic ved.later and still the problem is there but not like pervious.
Hope it help you!!
This problem will going to happen.
Because shunt will take time to set.
Your English is fine. Sending prayers to your Mom.
Reema varma I love you so much my dear sir
