A physician reported a hakim valve (id 823832) was implanted due to secondary normal pressure hydrocephalus (snph) via ventriculoperitoneal (vp) shunt on (b)(6) 2024, with unknown setting.On (b)(6) 2025, the pressure setting changed unintentionally after a magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and it had to be restored to its original setting.On (b)(6) 2025, gamma knife treatment was given to the patient.On (b)(6) 2025, x-ray confirmed the signs of ventricular dilatation so the setting was attempted to change from 70mmh2o but it could not be changed.Flushing was performed but there was no sign of improvement.On (b)(6) 2025, the contrast radiography confirmed the patency of the ventricular catheter and the peritoneal catheter.The setting was attempted to change from 70mmh2o but it could not be changed.Flushing was performed but there was no sign of improvement.The patient had difficulty with ambulation.Therefore, the device was removed and replaced on (b)(6) 2025.
