The condition that you are talking about has serious consequences for the patient, and especially so for a child. I am really sorry, but the shunt surgery is extremely needed at this point to prevent further damage to the brain. As to her future outcome, no one can say, because over time, TB of the brain can be followed by a lot of improvement; or, the child may remain bed-ridden for a long time. Please be courageous and do not delay the shunt surgery any longer.
