Living With a Lumboperitoneal Shunt
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
If you have had a shunt implanted to treat IIH, you will require long-term follow-up care. It’s important to have regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your progress and test for any changes that may indicate a shunt malfunction.
Ongoing Medical Care
You will need to have medical check-ups according to the schedule your neurosurgeon recommends. Physical and occupational therapy may also speed recovery and further enhance health.
