We will all die eventually, whether or not we have hydrocephalus. With treatment, people with hydrocephalus can go on to live normal lives. That's not to say you won't have shunt failures and setbacks. Keep a positive attitude and find a great neurosurgeon.

I've found this in a very helpful site but i'ts a secret site for me :)

* Get regular prenatal care to reduce your risk of premature labor, which places your baby at risk of hydrocephalus and other complications. * Protect your baby or child from head injuries by using a properly installed, age- and size-appropriate child safety seat on all car trips. Make sure all your baby equipment - crib, stroller, swing, high chair - meets all safety standards and is properly adjusted for your baby's size and development. * Keep your child's immunizations up-to-date. Vaccines that prevent some types of meningitis - once a common cause of hydrocephalus - are now on the immunization schedule for healthy infants and children.
