Hydrocephalus

[slydawg221]

i was born with hydrocephalus.

[jacobbis4lovers]

@slydawg221 I'm sorry to hear that.

[noory106]

the doctors is talking too fast . he should talk slowley so the child can understand what is Hydrocephalus

[torktt]

let the britsh burn in hell...wat a fag

[ind2bnla]

My IQ is off the charts. didn't know I had it until I was 23.

[ind2bnla]

I've had this done! July 2005. UCLA.

[spyderweb360]

Is this the same deformity condition what Jason suffers?

[alexandreleverrier]

Call be a bastard, through rotten eggs at me but my girlfriend and I decided that if she carries a baby with any kind of malfunction, Trisomia, missing body part or any horrible malformity she will have an abortion and we'll try again.

[TommyRay2222]

I had hydrocephalus as an infant but did not need surgery. I was able to drain the fluid manually without a shunt. I have a big head and thick skull but my intelligence was not affected. I scored a 1210 out of 1600 on my SAT and thats with skipping school on a regular and never coming. That is not mind blowing, I know, but the point is not all children with Hydrocephalus become mentally inferior to others.

[andymacceltic]

@TommyRay2222 Very true, I only found out I had hydrocephalus 2 weeks ago when I was ill and they took a brain scan. I'm 20. It's a mild case which the doctor didn't even think was worth looking at. I'm currently doing a masters degree at university so it obviously has never affected me mentally at all.

A truely informative video, thanks for answering some questions I didn't even know I had. You've got my subscription.

[qantasCapt]

Good to raise this issue, however it should be noted that there is a difference between Hydrocephalus in young children and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus - which occurs in later life - usually 6th or 7th decade. Thanks for this info anyway.

[seth5220]

And the brain to swell up beyond normal proportions normal to the human body. Could that cause developmental delays, with all that pressure in the brain?

[seth5220]

Wow it's an excess of spinal fluid building up in the middle brain which causes the middle venticle

[Txsray]

I developed hydrocephalus after a bout of meningitis in 1993. Due to austerity pressure by the French government my doctor didn't dare prescribe an MRI and my condition was misdiagnosed for years. By the time it was discovered the socialized "medical mafia" here in France considered me a lost cause and denied me any genuine treatment. I'm an invalid now and expect to die soon. I write this to warn against socialized medicine. It's like letting the tax-people make all your medical decisions.

[TheVishu27]

[rayed1982]

perfect,really perfect....

[imowtflol]

Neurologists have developed a new straightforward, low-cost home test for water on the brain.

You just sit the mong kid in front of a radiator, and watch their ears for steam

[calza13]

@imowtflol it's assholes like you that make kids suffering from these kinds of diseases lives hard. Go get a life and remember how lucky you are to obviously not suffer from illnesses like these!

[MrHenrick1]

@imowtflol Hey!! The doctors should have thought about that test when I was little but instead I went through 8 years of operations and excruciating headaches. I don't really enjoy sitting in front of radiators much to be honest, I prefer to run marathon's, 8 marathons as a matter of fact! How many have you run with your non "mong" body? I'm gonna presume none, as if you had the determination and drive to get of your arse and run you wouldn't be such an arrogant fool.

[arhsmacdude]

@imowtflol you are a jerk for suggesting that these people are brainless!

[nicholewoods34]

cool video very educational

[valterciojr]

VALEU VÉI TÁ BELEZA BACARAI !!!!

[eas17dale]

my girlfriend has this condition she is visually impaired which i dont know if blindness is part of it or not. she didn't tell me about it until recently for some reason dont know why whether it was shyness or worry about how i would react ot her but we have now been together for 3 months and we never talk about it she just gets on with things and for the most parts lives a normal life. i found out after i made a joke about us going abroad for a holiday she then told me she couldn't fly

[jeetkumar28]

My baby bone with Meningomyelocele and opreated on next day. Now he is 2 month old and suffering with the Hydrocephalus and also from Meningitis his treatement is going on and he is admitted in hospital

Can anyone want to share his experiance.

[MaineMVP]

Awesome video, you guys are very helpful. Keep up the great work.

[Ashlee198522]

good, info. I have a fiance and been with him for a few years and i knew he had something wrong with him but he didn't tell me what the name of it was till lately, which was the Hydrocephalus and he had tubes in his neck going down to his stomache cause of the surgurys. Is that also what happens? and if so why do they have thoses tube what are they for exactly?

[coastermusic93]

@Ashlee198522 I have one, and its a silicone/plastic tube. It goes from a space in the middle of your brain and drains fluid in it, then moves the the fluid down to your stomach (adomen or whatever).

[Ashlee198522]

@coastermusic93 Oh, yeah thats it. thanks. He like Ice cream too. lol :)

[coastermusic93]

@Ashlee198522 LOL, make sure to always be there for him in case he has problems with it. Cause, Im 17, and right now Im pretty scared. I have had my shunt for 17 years, and Im worried that its worn out. I've been getting a lot of headaches lately so Im freaked out. I havent had any additional surgeries like most people have. But when I try to talk about it with my girlfriend when Im worried, she says, "thats gross". :(

[Ashlee198522]

@coastermusic93 O wow I'am sorry for that. Yeah don't worry I will and have taken as much care as possiable i couldn't seem to get much from him about this Hydrocephalus but his family would tell me whats up and i get on him about things that i know would give him a head ach or had one, like he likes to drink so i tell him you know what happened the last time, lol he like yeah. But i try to be there and i live in irvine, ca he lives in san deigo, so i'd be there in a heart beat to go see him.

[Ashlee198522]

@coastermusic93 and try to be there just to support him. I wouldn't wanna anyone to be that freaked out. and i'am sure he feels that way to, freaked out...

[coastermusic93]

@Ashlee198522 Thats good, Im sure he is an awesome person, as most people with Hydro. are. My mom died of breast cancer when I was 9, thats why Im worried about my future in life and possible surgeries. I used to share my feelings with her and now I really need to, but I cant talk to her anymore. I hate being 17, Im growing up too fast.

[glennkoyote]

I have one of these things stuckl in my head. they had to insert it into my head when i was just 9 months old. The only problem about these things is that they limit your things in life such as scuba diving or fast sports were pressure is involved and in summer where the pipe is inserted it hurts me a little bit

[gmczr2guy]

@glennkoyote i have one too for 17 years never had my redone :)

[Omega3chimp]

i heard people with this have higher iq?

[coastermusic93]

@Omega3chimp I have an above average IQ, so maybe.

[safehouse123]

@Omega3chimp thats true....hydrocephalus doesnt have anything to do with disorders that affect intelligence.

[meowcat121]

i love the british kid! just saying.

[MedicineBoys]

what british kid?

[meowcat121]

fine. australian. whatever. i know my my accents so dont patronize me :O

[MedicineBoys]

the one who ask's the questions or dr. Tuli?

[meowcat121]

the one who asks the questions...

[zachariahs78]

15 revisions and counting, shunted since 1978 I like watching the videos, I'm always learning something new

[HUSKY57887]

Have had Hydro.,since birth

[coastermusic93]

so have I, Im 17 and still have my original shunt. I should have a revision coming up this year.

[HUSKY57887]

I'm 45. Have had 3 revisions;the last,I hope,in '84.

[coastermusic93]

Cool, hopefully once I get my first revision, it will end up being my last. I think I will at least need one to lengthen the tube, which has gotten a lot shorter. I dont want to stay in the hospital, but if my dad brings me ice cream at night it will be fine. I LOVE ICE CREAM

[glennkoyote]

@coastermusic93 I have mine for 25 years no and no revision was needed or extension of it

[trumpetbumm]

Im 47 with hydrocephalus. Though not diagnosed until 45 it showed on cat scan at 36. I may have had it since birth but I suffered a severe head injury at 2 years of age falling off a bull dozer. I had a palsy and trouble looking by moving my eyes without head mvmt. The parents just sent me to a whacko opto doc and thought I was cured because I learned to move my eyes without being able to see nearly as well. ICP fairly normal without shunt but objects disappear from optic nerve/ brain damage.

[rockzel07]

i have report about hydrocephalus and I can't still understand the pathophysiology..

[MedicineBoys]

well, what don't you understand?

[rockzel07]

ahm...it's ok now my clinical instructor discussed it to me and thank you coz your video help me to understand it... :)

[MedicineBoys]

ok, glad to help you :)
