Functional magnetic resonance imaging before and after ventriculoperitoneal shunting for hydrocephalus--case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 70-year-old man with hydrocephalus was examined with functional magnetic resonance (fMR) imaging before and after ventriculoperitoneal shunting. Preoperatively, activation by right hand exercise revealed only a slight signal increase in the peri-rolandic area. However, 3 months after ventriculoperitoneal shunting, a significant signal increase was observed. fMR imaging may detect activity-related improvement of cerebral blood flow responses in patients with hydrocephalus after surgical treatment.

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis after Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting: A Case Report
Ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) is a simple procedure, but there are several potential complications. We describe the first reported case of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) after VPS. A 69-year-old man suffering from normal pressure hydrocephalus underwent left VPS. Two months later he developed CVT and cerebral venous hemorrhage in the left frontal lobe. Computed tomography (CT) and magne...
متن کاملIntraventricular migration of an isolated fourth ventricular cysticercus following cerebrospinal fluid shunting
BACKGROUND Isolated intraventricular neurocysticercosis (NCC) is less frequently seen and can be missed on plain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three-dimensional constructive interference in steady state (CISS) sequence is an extremely helpful sequence in identifying the lesion but is rarely used routinely. CASE DESCRIPTION Here, we report a case of young male adult who presented with dimi...
متن کاملSuccess rates and complications of ventriculoperitoneal and ventriculoatrial shunting: A systematic review
Background and Aims: The insertion of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) and ventriculoatrial (VA) shunts is the first-line treatment of patients with hydrocephalus and normal-pressure hydrocephalus. The provision of a safety profile for shunting in the treatment of hydrocephalus patients is very important. This study aimed to determine the success rates and complications of VP and VA shunting in patien...

PURPOSE To evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-based quantitative phase-contrast cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) velocity imaging for prediction of successful shunting in patients with normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen patients (mean age, 73 years) with NPH underwent routine MR imaging and CSF velocity MR imaging before ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting. The ...

The case of a child admitted to hospital with acute onset of hemiparesis and seizure is presented. Extensive evaluation of an acute ischemic event in the form of a brain infarct found on brain magnetic resonance imaging was inconclusive. Two months later, the patient was referred with severe hydrocephalus, which was managed with ventriculoperitoneal shunting in the presence of normal ventricula...
