A pre stroke is also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). It is nothing but a small stroke. It is experienced when blood supply to brain is stopped for a very short period. Its effects may be experienced for a few hours or for a few minutes. The symptoms usually subside within 24 hours. They begin rapidly, and they go away very soon.

Is there any homeopathic treatment for hydrocephalus that can avoid surgery I'm really worried about surgical options and looking for alternatives that might help manage this condition

hydrocephalus is a condition in which the fluid in the brain increases so much so that it presses on the brain tissue. if the pressure keeps on increasing, a lot can go wrong. the increase in the fluid can be due to over production or due to inefficient drainage. the only available treatment is by shunting which is done by surgery by inserting a shunt. you should undergo surgery ASAP. to avoid complications. no other treatment is available in any form of medicine.
