Living with Hydrocephalus

There is no ONE life with hydrocephalus that is exemplary for all hydrocephalus patients, because every hydrocephalus is just as individual as the person behind it. This makes it even more important to take a closer look.

Patients tell their stories

We have had and still have the opportunity to have a closer exchange with some patients. These insights help us to gain a deeper understanding of the individual challenges they face in their daily lives. We share some of these impressions here on our website.

Thank you for having the courage and willingness to share your impressions here with others.

Kinder brauchen Frieden e.V.

We have been working with the organization "Kinder brauchen Frieden e.V." and the doctor Dr. Uta Düll for ten years. She runs a health center in Rwanda and also treats hydrocephalus patients there.

Part I: Uta Düll & her way to Rwanda
In the first episode of our video series, Uta Düll talks about her last 25 years in Rwanda, how she came to this small African country, what she treats in her health center and whether she has something like a daily routine.

Part II: Uta Düll's first patient
In the second part of our Rwanda series, she talks about her first encounter with hydrocephalus. A very moving story.

Part III: Diagnostics & medical care in Rwanda
In the third part, Uta Düll talks about the process of diagnosis, the most common risk factors and how she and her team ensure aftercare.
