Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the condition of your grand daughter sounds to be in relation with hydrocephalus most likely. There is raised intracranial pressure from various possible issues as there can be obstruction at the level of cerebro-spinal fluid drainage sites like Foramen of Monro, cerebral aqueduct or others. It is the ventriculoperitoneal shunt which relieves the excess pressure built up in the CSF draining sinuses and relieve the clinical symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
