Hello Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has a child with both hydrocephalus and epilepsy. If so, are you experiencing behavioral issues. Thanks Shar

My daughter's father has hydrocephalus but no known seizures but as a result we think it lowered our daughter's seizure threshold and created maturity spots on her brain. (the area surrounding the fluid sacs are thined)
