Once the fluid was prety much drained, we are down to the onw of the lower settings to maintain the fluid. He had a ruptured arachnoid cyst on the left side of his brain. Have you heard or considered this??
How did you know when to have the shunt adjusted? My daughter has a Strata II valve...now for one month. Her vision is really messed up. Just don't know if the shunt needs adjusting or if we need to give it time for the swelling in the eye to subside.
