Syndromes which means just headache

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

I read your query and understand your concern

Sometimes on acute hydrocephalia or some other cases, devices which help to lower the pressure between ventricles are used. These devices are called shunt. After they are placed brain pressure became normal. Sometimes shunts don't work as they should when they get blocked.

Ventricle syndrome is referred to a process when shunt is perfectly normal and the pressure is normal; but the patient suffers headache. Doctor says ventricle syndrome to understand that there is nothing wrong going with shunt.

I think I have been of help.
Hope I have clarified your doubts
