I remember your case. A posterior cranial fossa decompression is needed. The cost of treatment is about 30-40,000 yuan. Generally, the surgery can be done in 3 days of hospitalization and you can be discharged in 7 to 10 days after the surgery. The prognosis for this disease is fair and usually the surgery does not add new complications. You schedule it and contact me a few days in advance and I will arrange a bed.
Sorry for not replying in time.

Qi Hui, Department of Neurosurgery, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital: The shunt tube is permanently implanted, and you should have been told before the surgery. You should come for a review of your head MRI next month.
