Dana, i'm not a doctor but i fail to see a connection. unless the hydrocephalus is the outcome of birth defects that also affect other parts of the body- there shouldn't be a problem. what was the reason for the hydrocephalus? from what you describes, it sounds like infection to me, no? if so- there shouldn't be a problem. but you give here small amount of details, it might be a good idea to look it you with your gynecologist just in case.
