Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If your child is going to have this surgery, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Shunt failure
- Brain swelling
- Blood clot or bleeding in the brain
- Infection in the shunt or brain
- Damage to brain tissue
- Reaction to the anesthesia (eg, light-headedness, low blood pressure, wheezing)
Be sure to discuss these risks with the doctor before the surgery.
