My brother had Hydrocephalus caused by meningitis, not sure how old he was.

He started getting head aches when he was about 19 and he had to go and get it replaced.... it was a nightmare!! The replacements kept failing and he ended up with some brain damage. Don't know how many times they tinkered with his head, but it was a lot.

I hope that my contribution isn't too scary, I just wanted to make you aware of what to look out for in in case something goes wrong
