Ann Ngo Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi there, my name is Ann, I am from Malaysia. My nephew, Jeffry Ngo, 5 years old kid, was suffer from brain tumor surgery since a month ago. He is now suffer for Hydrocephalus. He is still in the ICU. He has gone through 7 surgery since admitted to hospital on last month, to remove the brain tumor, and to put in the shunt. The shunt was failed at the first operation, hence doctor decided to remove it out at the 2nd operation. After the 2nd operation, he was suffer from Hydrocephalus, later on he has gone through few more surgery to drain the water out from the brain. Last week, doctor has try to put in the shunt for second time, but 3 days later, the shunting failed to drain the water out again. The neuro doctor explained that he could not find the reason why the shunting was failed. The entire family is very worried for Jeffry and pray hard for him. Is there any help we can get from here? Any experiance to share with? Any info that we can refer to? Please help us to save Jeffry's life. The kid has been suffered too much from the surgery.

What I understand about the brain is that it`s covered with cerebrospinal fluid. If there`s a block in the drainage system of the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid is retained inside the brain. The pressure inside the system increases which dilates and enlarges the skull (hydrcephalus)while the brain shrinks. It`s useless to put a shunt to drain the cerebrospinal fluid if the cause of the obstruction(tumor) is not removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
