Default VP shunt placement due to pilocytic astrocytoma
Hi

My one of my familiy member (13yrs old boy) diagonosed with pilocytic astrocytoma(tumour in the optic pathway) in April 2013. VP shunt has been placed in May 2013. But as we are all very novice about this VP shunt and did nt hear anything about it before that. Can anyone let us know how long this VP shunt will survive without any problem whether any precaution we should take to make it more safe.

Please let us know all the pros and cons of vp shunt.I will be highly obliged if you share something about it.

Best reagrds
