Ask the Expert - NPH Episode 4: ETV as a Treatment for NPH

[@jelizondo1974]

Great video! Very informative. I'm a recent recipient of ETV NPH Surgery and happy to know I was a candidate. I really didn't want the shunt they were originally discussing and overnight things changed. I'm so thankful. Hope it has lasting results!

I am 3 weeks post VP shunt placement for NPH. My gait and cognition have improved dramatically!! My bladder control is better but still an issue. Unfortunately I am experiencing lightheadedness which becomes relatively severe after I’ve been awake for a while. I do not have headaches although I do feel some “pressure” in my head. Any suggestions? Dave

I have aqueductal stenosis with compensatory ventriculomegaly with parkinsonian symptoms. Will ETV likely resolve these symptoms?

Is the same Mri imaging able to tell the difference between obstructive and communicative HS?

I was diagnosed with arrested hydrocephalus in 2003 , and I didn’t want undergo the surgery then (since I had 2 babies) Finally I had ETV surgery in June 2020 I was 50 then, for me it went well. After the first 3 months MRI, the liquid had reduced BUT by the 6th month MRI there was no progress. Now my doctor says I have to put a Shunt in.
