Hi Doctor, my uncle was diagnosed with tubercular hydrocephalus. He had the symptoms of paraplegia, headache, among others. He had to undergo a VP shunting two months after which it had to be revised. Recent CSF report has however come normal. He is now able to walk too. He has a male cath fitted. Doctor has changed the dosage to AKT3. What is his chance of recovery?
