Brief Answer:
If the VP shunt is working well

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
My thoughts:
If your VP shunt is working well and if there is no other contraindication then flying should not be a problem.
But the ultimate decision should be given by your Neurosurgeon.

Please give any further details.
And ask for further relevant queries.
