Hydrocephalus: Anyone else?

Hi, I've been diagnosed with acqueduct stenosis, brain surgeon said my ventricles were not large enough for a shunt. I'm 51 years old. I guess I'm headed toward having normal pressure hydrocephalus, but I'm not there yet.

Thank you for asking as I’m frustrated . The neurosurgeon I consulted with said my ventricles aren’t large enough for a shunt. The neurologist implies I have to have a clinical presentation of NPH to qualify for surgery, meaning that I have dementia full time . Right now I’m episodic, and I’ve been hospitalized 9 times. It seems that heat and exercise are difficult for me.
