Hi, I have met my very good friend yesterday and he told me his sun is suffering from hydrocephalus because of hyper production of brain liquor. He was very upset because his son is complaining on very strong pain which he is experiencing and he told me that he is very desperate. I would like to help him so please if someone knows something more about this please tell me.
Hi, hydrocephalus is condition with heighten intracranial pressure which is pushing brain structures and it may cause very serious damages. Pain is just a sign that pressure is higher and that brain is suffering because of that. Temporary relief may be achieved by drainage of accumulated liquor but solution of such problem is finding a cause which makes all that.
Hydrocephalus is not something to "take lightly". If your son has a shunt and is experiencing very strong pain, don't be a stupid parent. You need to take him to his neurosurgeon, because a neuro is the only one that can help him or your son might end up in bad shape or even dead.
Hydrocephalus is excess fluid in the brain.
You can help your friend by telling him
that he needs to undergo brain shunts to
remove the excess fluid in his brain.

I agree, don't be a stupid parent, I have hydrocephalus and almost died from my pcp ignoring the symptoms. Get you child to their NSG.
the settings on the shunts are variable based on a patient. is he eating and drinkingwhen his head hurts . i am a veteran shunt mom. he may need a valve that drains him more or less. if he is vomiting it could be blocked. if his bowels are full the system may not be working right based on pressure in the intestines. so many issues. my sons is in pain every day . hydrocephalus sucks , but they are strong.a mom -son has had 99 surgeries. have them icp your son , also watch when he gets the headaches .
