In non-medical straight-to-the-point wording... "water on the brain", the "water is just CSF (cerospinal fluid) that, for some reason, doesn't drain off properly. Some of us have a shunt, myself included, some of us have two shunts, I know only of one person, and some of us have had an ETV. (I think that is what it is called. I hope someone who has one can write and explain this better.)
I also think there is something called the third vent. I have only learnd about this by keeping up with all the hydro boards I am on.
I hope I helped in some small way.
