Hi
The point is that some conditions are hereditary and other diseases are acquired.
What you have told us in the query is the end result and the common complication of a large number of conditions including post lumbar puncture.
There is a possibility that you had what is called hydrocephalus.
So you were operated.
Now if you have some condition that is genetic, the offspring may have the condition.
If it was acquired, like say post meningitis, it is acquired and cannot be transmitted
Best of luck
