    I don't know if Hydrocephalus Canada reads this, but I was born in 1967 in Burlington, ON with an esophageal atresia. Upon discovery I was immediately airlifted to Toronto's Sick Childrens Hospital and I remained there for 2,5 months. Now, 40 years, in 2007, they discovered in Switzerland, where I currently live, that what they call in French 'Hydrocephalie modéré", which they diagnosed as being prenatal. Can you tell me if I am an exception or are my neuro-surgeons and neuro-psychologists wrong about their diagnosis? I believe Switzerland has top health-care systems, but I also believe in a second opinion.
