  • Title: Periventricular high signal lesions and signal void on magnetic resonance imaging in hydrocephalus. Diagnostic and prognostic significance.
    Author: Stollman AL, George AE, Pinto RS, de Leon MJ.
    Journal: Acta Radiol Suppl; 1986; 369():388-91. PubMed ID: 2980505.
    Abstract:
    The presence of periventricular high signal lesions and ventricular signal void was tabulated and compared in three groups: patients with unshunted hydrocephalus (n = 24), cerebral atrophy (n = 14), and a subgroup of treated hydrocephalus subjects studied both pre- and post-shunting (n = 6). We found that T2 high signal lesions and ventricular signal void are common in both hydrocephalus and atrophy and are of no value in distinguishing between the two. The pre-treatment presence or absence of periventricular high signal lesions and signal void were of no use in predicting the clinical outcome of shunting in hydrocephalus.
