My son has a vp shunt at 1 year 3 months for hydrocephalus . he is 2 now but not walking yet. he was walking before 1 year. how long till he can walk?

Unknown: There is no way to project this outcome on a patient that I have so little information about. Whether or not the issue leading to the hydrocephalus damaged nerves could only be determined by exam and testing. This is something you should work out with a developmental pediatrician or neurologist after a proper evaluation.
