Just wondering if anyone has developed hydrocephalus as complication of neck dissection surgery. I had a brain bleed during my surgery and now have been dx with obstructive hydrocephalus. It's been very debilitating. Had to have a lumbar peritoneal shunt surgically placed. Life-long condition. Shunt placed 11/26/12. Already had several problems with shunt. Just wonder if this is typical complication of RND.
Any info appreciated greatly. Thanks.
