What is the longest a patient has gone without a surgery or severe headache. When I had ETV in December 2002 in Charlotte, NC the procedure lasted for three years and a few weeks. Since that occurrence I have had four other surgeries, my last procedure was a fourth craniotomy on August 30, 2006, to drain a lot of the excess CSF because I also have Dandy Walker syndrome associated with the hydrocephalus.

During his short 3 years he has also been diagnosed with craniosynostosis and has had approximately 20 surgeries. Today he is doing well and is like most 3 year olds, although maybe a little smaller, but as a mom of a child with hydrocephalus you never know when another malfunction could occur. It's good to know that a presidential candidate is actually aware of hydrocephalus. Thanks for sharing! This story really hit home because we have 3 year old son with hydrocephalus.

I think it's huge to have hydrocephalus as part of a story line on a hit show and I hope everyone will write to the show to express the same feelings!
