Hi lje55,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.
I'm sorry that your daughter is dealing with such serious health concerns.

Here is the link to the
General Health Conditions and Rare Disorders Forum

There are quite a number of old posts on that particular forum for this condition.

There is also the search feature where you can type in your keywords e.g. Pseudotumor Cerebri, and that will bring up any relevant posts or threads from the past.

You could also post over on the
Hydrocephalus Forum
regarding your concerns about the shunt. They may be able to offer some information about that.
