MARCO Grand Rounds for January 10, 2010

From Warren KD4GUA:

This Sunday, by request we will discuss "Water on the Brain--or hydrocephalus." (Greek) by request. This condition in newborns is more prevalent than Downs syndrome...also, it is estimated that 50% of all shunts fail within two years requiring further surgery to replace them.

The condition is often mistaken for Parkinson's Disease in the older age group.

Tune in should be fun.
