    I have congenital hydrocephalus from being born with a brain bleed that eventually got clogged which caused the hydrocephalus, and they found out at 7 months old and I got the surgery a few days after that, I found out that it was a medical student that noticed my big head, my dad said it’s because medical students things they learn in more fresh cuz they’re learning It right now

  • this channel is incredible and has been crucial to my education. However, referring to patients as clients, regardless of being the truth in a lot of places, still just doesnt sit well with me..
  • @InvisibleVicky
    I have LOVA hydrocephalus. They say I have had it since birth but it showed up in adulthood. I am convinced after an accident when I was 13 falling off a horse while jumping. I still don’t remember the accident.

    5:10 Its said temporary shunt and written permenant shunt. So which is it? Btw great video
  • @tuipaopao
    0:47 Wrong labeling of 4th ventricle. It should be between cerebellum and brainstem.
