Abstract:
We present two cases of ventricular obstruction in which shunting of intracranial cysts resulted in the unexpected finding of ventricular enlargement. By imaging criteria this suggested shunt malfunction [corrected]; however, the clinical presentation dramatically improved. The probable mechanism for this diagnostic pitfall is discussed.
