I have a newly installed VP shunt due to my aqueductal stenosis / hydrocephalus. It is a programmable unit.

I am really confused. On the one hand there is anechdotal evidence that going thru airport security units and magnetometors at federal buildings will reset the shunt valve. On the other hand my neurosurgeon says not to worry except for an MRI.

What are you experiences and wht hae other Neurosurgeons said.

thanks
