A case of discontinued proximal limb of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt with patent fibrous tract
M Bermo, AS Leung, M Matesan - Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2016 - journals.lww.com
Radionuclide shuntogram is important in the evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts
complications such as mechanical failure, malpositioning, pseudocyst, or overdrainage. We
present here a case of congenital hydrocephalus and posterior fossa cyst with multiple shunt
procedures and revisions with breakage of the proximal tube of the ventriculoperitoneal
shunt but preserved CSF drainage through the patent fibrous tract. Careful correlation with
SPECT/CT images helped confirm the breakage and exclude CSF leak outside of the tract …
