Not sure about the seizures, I am a guinea pig. I try to keep my neurologist updated with any changes, so that he may pass it on to his colleagues, I know when there is an issue with the shunt, headaches are so bad it makes a migraine seem like a bump on the head, you may develop vertigo. Generally there are two ways to see if the shunt is operating properly, a spinal tap and/or an opthamologist looking in the back of your eyes to see if 5he ventricles are swollen. I have had five headaches in my life, had to have brain surgery for each one, I have has a shunt since 1970.

Jason~I'm glad your not having issues with your shunt like so many others are. Is yours programmable? Does a lot of people develop seizures after shunting? GOD BLESS!
