    I was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus in 1965. I had a shunt inserted shortly after birth. That same shunt is still in place almost 59 years later. I was told at age 9 that it had done its job but that surgery to remove it was unnecessary and it's been there ever since. I am curious to know if anyone else has only had to have a single shunt inserted.
