My child has hydrocephalus n we have no idea to put a shunt . . hw long will she survive ? ? she is nw 2 mnths old and she has haemerages also

Difficult problem: There is no way an online doc can give you this answer with the information you have listed.Shunts can be needed to help distribute fluid made in the brain when the normal channels don't work well.Pressure would otherwise lead to tissue injury.A rapidly enlarging head is often the sign.People can live a long and productive life with a shunt.Other problems may define the quality and length of life

Complex question: no simple answer can be given, a team approach is needed, a pediatrician, a neurosurgeon, a neurologist, and depends on what other medical problems she has, good luck

Hydrocephalus: every child is different as each case is unique so discuss with the neurosurgeon and her other doctors about these important questions.
