Hello,
I Am 20 Years Old. I Have Had Two VP Shunts Put In At Birth. One Only A Few Inches Long And The Other Goes From The Side Of My Head Down Into My Stomach. I Have Been Having Severe Pain In My Stomach And Headaches. Went To A Neurosurgeon Two Days Ago And He Says That My Shunt Is Fractured Behind My Right Ear And There Is A Severe Amount Of Fluid Still On The Brain As The Shunt Is Fractured And Not Doing Its Job. He Says I Need To Replace My Shunt. I Know Nothing About This And I Was Wondering If I Should Be Concerned Or If This Is Just Standard.
Any Help Would Be Great. Thanks!!
