Confused hydrocephalus and a leaking shunt
My daughter has hydrocephalus and a LP shunt. She is having a revision tomorrow because they shunt survey shows a possible partial disconnection. She has the usual headache but she has extreme body aches. Has anyone heard of this???? I am hoping her revision tomorrow corrects this problem.

Hi dawnt,
I have a VP shunt which malfunctioned rather badly a few years back, when it malfunctioned I also got severe body aches, which my neurosurgeon explained to me are from the pressure on the spine from either too much or not enough CSF, in your daughters case I am guessing it is too much pressure. The body aches should go away after the revision. Good luck with everything!
