title: "Pseudocatheter" due to inadvertent ventricular catheter placement.
abstract: Ultrasound is frequently used in the routine follow-up of patients who have been shunted for obstructive hydrocephalus. We report a case with "pseudocatheter" appearance due to the initial incorrect placement of the ventricular catheter. To our knowledge, such an appearance has not been previously described.
