Can people with hydrocephalus fly on airplanes?

Patient's question:

Can people with hydrocephalus fly on airplanes? I wonder if those with a medical history of hydrocephalus can fly on airplanes? Moreover, since you've had surgery over ten years ago and have been doing well without any unusual symptoms, what precautions should you take when flying? This time you need to take a flight of about two hours. Forum Replies Area yaokai2008You really need to go to the hospital for a check-up and listen to the doctor's advice after the examination. If you are older, flying itself has certain risks, let alone you having a medical history. Because after takeoff, the cabin needs to be pressurized, and I'm afraid you might not be able to handle it. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose other options.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's best not to. First, you should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.
