Are siezures possible from a mal-functioning shunt???
 

:oI have Spina Bifida, so, I have a shunt. I've been having
siezure-like, feelings/ sensations. I was wondering, could it be
a mal-functioning shunt in my head?:confused:

shunt related seizures
 

I personally have dealt with seizures on & off not long after getting my shunt placed. In my case I think it was more the multitude of surgeries & scar tissue left behind or what not than the shunt malfunctioning. I have a shunt due to a cyst on my brain though, so it may be different in your case

PG, I agree with JB above. My epilepsy and its' severity(or lack thereof) is due to all my shunt surgeries.

R u serious?!?
 

:eek:They performed *every*, test, known, to man! The shunt was
ruled-out!?! Also, my 2nd and last revision was when I was nine
and I'm 44, now!:eek::o Also, when my shunt wasn't working, my
symptoms were *much*, worse, than, this!?!:confused: Major vomiting, major
headache, and, blurred vision! :eek::confused: Still, could be a shunt?!?:eek::confused:
