Headache

[eser08]

About Me: Male, 26, Nakhchivan - Azerbaijan, member since Dec 2008
Dear Sirs, its about 10 years I m disturbed from the headache by the right side up ear. (right hemisphere of the brain, but not exactly connected with the brain) After checking myself by the Dr. in islamic republic of IRAN , I assured that  Im disturbed by the headache ... [More] which in generally happend by the pile of water over the left hemisphere of the brain. So in 4 februar of 2008 year I passed one head-neuro operation in the IRAN. The opearation lasted approx. 30 minute. But after operation I felt my self very perfect.
So after 10 monthes thats now (december) Im again disturbed by the same headache.
I have to note that during the surgeon operation there was put one apparatus to suck the pile of water from the left hemisphere side over the brain (left side).Its apparatus
put in generally during such kind of surgeon operations due to the doctors of neuro surgeon.
So when I felt myself very bad from headache I immediately went to The IRAN (Tabriz city) with my parents. After the control me , Doctor-Surgeon (Which did surgeon operation over me 10 month ago) said me that I have to push the apparatus (swell) over the head (there is  little swell after operation) , because may be there is water stuffed so does not let  water flow freely.
Dear Sirs Please write me what can i do and Do you agree all of this opeartions realized over my headache  due to correct diagnosis.

Hi,

Thanks for writing in.
From what can be made out from your post it seems that you underwent shunt surgery for hydrocephalus or excessive fluid in the brain due to blockade of outflow.
There is a possibility that the shunt may be over draining or under draining the cerebrospinal fluid.
The possibility of infection also cannot be ruled out. This can be confirmed only after through clinical evaluation and tests like CT scan.
Please follow up with your surgeon and let us know if you need more help.

Azerbaijan has always been a beautiful name on the map, but I didn't know anything about it. After reading your profile I did some research and found the it is a truly amazing country. I'm glad that I  found out about it.  I hope that you can go back to the surgeon and get your problem fixed.
