  • Title: Diagnosis and management of an atypical case of canine hydrocephalus, using computed tomography, ventriculoperitoneal shunting, and nuclear scintigraphy.
    Author: Kay ND, Holliday TA, Hornof WJ, Gomez J.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1986 Feb 15; 188(4):423-6. PubMed ID: 3949622.
    Abstract:
    Hydrocephalus was diagnosed in a 4-month-old Staffordshire Terrier with gastrointestinal and neurologic signs and cervical pain, using computed tomography. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt was used to manage the hydrocephalus. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt patency was assessed, using nuclear scintigraphy. Because of expense and potential shunt complications, a ventriculoperitoneal shunt might not always be practical; however, this mode of diagnosis and management was successful.
