Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Well, I just found out today that I am having brain surgery number 9. It is scheduled for Wed. Nov. 8. My shunt is plugged. DR. Frim thinks it is plugged in the catheter that goes into the brain. He tapped my shunt today and could not get any csf. He then did a CT scan. My ventricles are very small. So,when the cortoid plexus sheds its cells they plug up the shunt. He said this will be an on going problem. Does anybody else with a VP shunt have this problem?
