Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having hydrocephalus and you are referred for ophthalmologist opinion.
Hydrocephalus will cause raise in intra cranial pressure and this can lead to papilledema.
Hence this requires examination by ophthalmologist by performing ophthalmoscopy.

Thank you
