Jeff-
I also was diagnosed with Dandy Walker Sydrome Hydro at an early age. I was 1 week old. I have just recenlty noticed poor memory since my last shunt replacement in 2003. I too have had over a dozen surgeries related to Hydro. I currently suffer from head pain and pressure on a regular basis. I had my last surgery at UCSF, and am awaiting an appointment with Pain Management.

Subject: [hydrocephalus] question concerning memory
I have had ten shunt revisions since the age of four weeks. I am
thirty two years old now. My question is concerning my short term
memory. It never has been what it should be, and as I grow older it is
becoming irritatingly bad. Does anyone else with hydrocephalus have a
history of memory loss, or seizures, for that matter?
Thanks!
Jeff
