I have Dandy-Walker Sydrome and I already have a shunt. I have had it for about 11 years now? I'm only twelve. Do you know what could be wrong? It's like there is a spot on my head that gets filled with something. I can press it down... I get it during headaches.

It sounds like your shunt is malfunctioning. Tell your parents and see your doctor who specializes in your shunt ASAP! If it is malfunctioning, you will need surgery to replace the shunt.

No, probably not. Dandy-Walker syndrome is a congenital disease. The headaches are probably cause by the shunt.

Your shunt may be malfuntioning. Please tell your parents. You will need to see a doctor. It will not get better on it's own.
