Cerebral damage following ventricular shunt for infantile hydrocephalus evaluated by computed tomography.
The result of a late CT control of infantile hydrocephalus is reported with an analysis of effects of the catheter on the cerebral tissue in the immediate and late postoperative course. The most frequent finding is blood in the ventricle and/or subependymal or intraparenchymal along the catheter or near its tip.
