  • Title: Ventricular shunt functioning despite extraventricular location of the catheter tip as revealed by computed tomography.
    Author: Aoki N.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 1988 Apr; 4(2):105-7. PubMed ID: 3042134.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of infantile hydrocephalus are reported, in which the ventricular shunt proved to function despite the catheter tip being located outside the ventricular system, as revealed by computed tomography. This condition could be erroneously diagnosed as arrested hydrocephalus or proximal shunt malfunction, with a resultant potential risk of inadequately removing the catheter.
