Headaches leading to spinal fluid problems?

I have Dandy-Walker Sydrome and I already have a shunt. I have had it for about 11 years now? I'm only twelve. Do you know what could be wrong? It's like there is a spot on my head that gets filled with something. I can press it down... I get it during headaches.
Your shunt may be malfuntioning. Please tell your parents. You will need to see a doctor. It will not get better on it's own.
No, probably not. Dandy-Walker syndrome is a congenital disease. The headaches are probably cause by the shunt.
It sounds like your shunt is malfunctioning. Tell your parents and see your doctor who specializes in your shunt ASAP! If it is malfunctioning, you will need surgery to replace the shunt.
YES!, TELL YOUR PARENTS TO GET YOU TO THE DR. AND HAVE THE SHUNT LOOKED AT. I HAVE ARNOLD CHIARI, SLE/MS...AND SO ON. A .C. IS IN THE FAMILY OF SPINA BIFIDA.
