A member asked:

If my vp shunt is vibrating and it hurts what do u think i should do besides see my neurosurgeon im having tests on friday but it may not show up ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hydrocephalus: The best person to evaluate your shunt is the neurosurgeon who implanted it. Vibration of the shunt is not a typical problem seen with a shunt malfunction. A radionucleotide shunt study will determine if the shunt is blocked or malfunctioning.
