To add to Andy's offering

The following is from the clinical experience of Parimal Banerji, and is in
the Calc phos 3x section

Please note the comment on the problems using a shunt

GROUP C - 1

Hydrocephalus, may be with very large head. May be acute, chronic or
congenital.

Fontanelles wide open.
The fluid pressure inside the skull is not so prominently noticeable.

Dose Twice a day.

Note When the fluid pressure is prominently noticeable, Lvcopo-
pressure is not reduced, Apis mel..6, given twice daily, has
been found to be their remedy. In chronic form of
hydrocephalus, when Calcarea phos. did not respond Natrum
muriaticum 30 has been found to be useful. Calc.phos.3x is
especially effective where the head is enormously enlarged
and the fontanelles are open and the skull seems to be soft.

What remedies were you thinking of using as there are so many rx with an
affinity to hydrocephalus. And of course you can use homeopathy as well as
other procedures. Watch for infection. As for regeneration, why not, go for
it. In time a definite and full sx picture will emerge. This has been a
lovely story to read about. I hope you let us know how things continue.

Best wishes, Joy

Sunny,

Dr. Ramakrishnan has treated numerous cases of congenital hydrocephalus. In
his experience, the leading remedies are Apis, Helleborus, and Zincum
metallium or Zincum sulphuricum. Those remedies, however, display pain or
scream, and Chase does none of these. Dr. R. has also used Calcarea-carb.
successfully to treat hydrocephalus, and that is a remedy you might wish to
consider, if the symptoms fit.

Peace,
Cinnabar
