Hi Ondrej,

My name is Nikita i am 16 years old an have had a VP Shunt since i was 15 months old. I had a revision in February last year, last time i flew was 2 years ago and also suffered the same pain in the face on landing. Also suffered deafness in my left ear (same side as my shunt.) for several days.

My flight was only 2 hours, but i am due to fly in excess of four hours and i am a little worried that the effects might be worse with a longer flight.

So Paul i was wondering if you have managed to finish your paper and if you have any more information about this, hope your son is ok.

If anybody has any other information about this problem please let me no.
Other than the landing i had no other problems.

Thanks, Nikita.
