Hydrocephalus

2018-02-08 19:52:52
My daughter had Hydrocephalus and underwent a surgery for VP shunt. The Dr said that sometimes the Hydrocephalus is healed naturally and shunt isn't required afterwards. Is there any treatment to cure Hydrocephalus? How can it be checked weather Hydrocephalus is still there or has it been cured?
