Is Shunt Malfunction Related With Vertigo ,fatigue & Loss Of Balance?

My brother who is 29 years has hydrocephalus and had his VP shunt last replaced when he was 9. Present CT scans showed there is VP shunt malfunction. Im seeing other symptoms like he cant control his urine, vertigo, loss of balance, fatigue(he sleeps all the time), halitosis. Are this all related to the shunt malfunction?
