Cerebrospinal fluid abdominal cyst. Computed tomographic resolution of a sonographic dilemma.
A case of subhepatic cerebrospinal fluid cyst, an uncommon complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting, is presented. Sonography could not reliably prove shunt tubing to be entering the cystic spaces. Results of computed tomography scanning were definitive.
