There is another procedure that treats hydrocephalus called endoscopic third ventriculostomy that does not require a shunt, though it is my understanding that it accomplishes the same thing. Maybe that is a possibility? It seems like a second opinion might be in order? I would go to a neurosurgeon with lots of experience in hydrocephalus. Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear that, Sumera. What are your options now?
What symptoms did you have prior to ETV? How did you decide to have the surgery?
