Hello doctor, this is Roopa mother of 4 year old kid, my kid was born at 29 weeks and got hydrocephalus when he was 2 months old that was post meningitis , he is living with 2 vp shunts, and had 2 revisions on either side of his head last 2 months back he had severe vomiting , fever and headache and was diagnised with infection in CSF and both his vp shunts have been removed and was treated for 21 days of antibiotic and now he is very active like before but he is living with no shunts from past 20 days he is absolutely normal and very active. My doubt is whether he can live without shunts or is it required my neurosurgeon said that we will keep a watch on the kid next week am geeting a CT scan done for my kid , please reply me am very confused.
