This is a weird and uncommon trigger for GBS, if you don't mind me asking, what was the infectious agent that caused the meningitis?

Commonest trigger for GBS is Campylobacter Jejuni, a GI bacterium, no vaccine available or maybe some viral cause like EBV where no vaccine exists either.
EDIT: y i

PC has high pressures around the brain (the area between the brain and our skull) not around the cells.
PC causes more visual symptoms while Hydro causes movement and cognitive symptoms.
PC can be corrected with weight loss and Acetazolamide, valves are used on drug resistant cases, while a chronic hydrocephalous may not need treatment at all, although most times mechanical relief (spinal taps, valve) is needed.
Acute Hydro is a medical emergency and needs immediate mechanical decompression and careful evaluation of the brain's aqueduct system, as a blockage is always responsible for this (tumor, blood clot from brain haemorrhage, local tissue swelling, cervical spine blockage, thrombosis of the brain's vein system etc)
