Brain Tumor and Hydrocephalus | Adam's Story

Seeing this video makes me cry as my nephew recently diagnosed with brain tumor causing obstructed hydrocephalus. Already admitted in government hospital here in Cebu Philippines, but still no available neurosurgeon.

Thank you for your story. It grants me hope for my resent diagnoses and positive out come. Best wishes.

So happy for you! I chose to do Gamma Knife radiation on my brain tumor. Unfortunately something broke off the tumor and blocked the ventricles. I had to have emergency surgery to relieve the pressure....that surgeon wasn’t my normal neurosurgeon and he cut my hearing nerve on that side. The tumor ended up doubling in size, which it shouldn’t have with gamma knife. I had a repeated problem with shunt failures (6 brain surgeries in 9 months! Plus a second gamma knife! I’ve been out of the hospital for a year and started having problems again. It’s great to hear others success stories!

My mother lived to 47 until she suddenly passed due to obstructive hydrocephalus due to colloid cyst in the third ventricle, with no diagnosis ever. Deteriorated rapidly in a day. Hydrocephalus is no joke

I had a similar experience i got an mri for migraines and that week i got my etv surgery. So far things are going well but i still have the tumor

My brother diagnosed brain tumor and it obstructed hydrocephalus. Now, he is treating in hospital in Thailand but I plan to bring him to get treatment in US. Anyone please recommend me the hospital. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have hydrocephalus when the surgery for my tumor at 2 months old.

My Auntie Who lives in Australia I live in the UK She has been diagnosed with a large brain tumour that is pressing onto her brain
