He has been showing signs of intermittent shunt blockage for 4 weeks now, he has been in hospital for a week, and they did 2 ct scans,and it showed nothing wrong so they sent him home. He is still sick with severe headaches, very pale and tired, and vomiting. We had a thought that it might be slit ventricle syndrome, does anyone know anything about this, as we can't find out anywhere how long this can go on for, and its breaking our hearts to see him like this. He is only 4 years old and has already had 14 operations on his shunt in his first year, and an infected shunt also in the first year and an operation for a blocked bowel. can anyone help us. thanks.
