How Will Be The Future Of A Baby With Hydrocephalus?
I care for an infant with hydrocephalus. She is quite ill and is being transferred to another hospital for evaluation. Her head is the size of a basketball, though uneven. She responds well to people and tracks movements, babbles and cries. What is her life going to look like?

HYdrocephalus if treated early with VP shunt, can have very good outcome
Depends on the severity and type
Wishing your child speedy recovery
