Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Complications
Can anybody tell me what would needed to be done to fix the following complications of shunting of NPH? And also which ones would result in not being able to be shunted again? My family member is getting one and I've reading up on it, but I really want to know what happens if there was a complication.
Shunt Obstruction
Shunt Overdrainage
Shunt Malfunction
Shunt Infection
Intracerebral Hematoma
Subdural Hematoma
Seizures
thanks
