Needs Evaluation: A bad headache in someone with a vp shunt needs to be evaluated to make sure the shunt is working properly. It may require both physical examination including looking at the back of your eyes and possibly a ct scan or shunt series(x-rays) to make sure the shunt is intact. Don't ignore it.
