What is the life expectancy of someone with Hydrocephalus?

To my knowledge there is an indefinite time period ..

Iif there is no malfuntion in a shunt or third ventriculostomy the life expectancy is the same as anyone who doesn't have the condition

my front forhead is burning up, this time i'm awake for this. two weeks ago i had 1 beer, the next day i couldn't walk, kept falling. they did a mri and found the fluid. i was angry that it was still there. 27th january 2006 930pm work put me on the mail bench, and 5 minutes later my lead hand told me i was squishing my head , like a zit. unable to do my job they moved to another area, were a video. showed me looking away from the convayer belt, then reaching out and sliding to the concrete floor, and having my 1st grandmaul siezure. i awoke in the middle of march. 2 years of rehab to be "normal" and return to work. and now it happening again 15 years later. they never put a shunt in then. my head is like a fire ball with pain swirling around to the right side if the skull. i'll be seeing a nerologist today

Una persona affetta da idrocefalo ha un aspettativa di vita pari a quella di una persona che non presenta tale patologia. Le complicanze che possono pregiudicare una normale vita possono essere anche determinate da errori umani (come nel mio caso che a causa della eccessiva lunghezza del catetere si era creato un ispessimento del liquido cefalo rachidiano)
