This question has come to my mind as my paper was "self observation after 8 years". My answer to this question is:
a very good outcome inspite of difficulties I have faced.
I am basing my answer on things I have achieved during these 16 years. Also I am asking myself how would be my life if shunts were not implanted.
To note that my previous questions aiming to refine diagnosis and management is a different point from judging the overall outcome.
