1 A 15-year-old boy presented with intermittent headaches and a history of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt that was inserted in infancy but never revised. Shunt series was obtained. Lateral view of the skull demonstrates microcephaly, fusion of all of the sutures, and a copper-beaten appearance of the skull (black arrow), compatible with chronic hydrocephalus. VP shunt catheter (white arrows) is noted over the parieto-occipital region (A). Frontal view of the chest shows VP shunt catheter traversing the right hemithorax. The catheter is intact (B). Frontal view of the abdomen shows VP shunt catheter coiled in the pelvis. The catheter is intact (C). (Photo contributor: John Amodio, MD.) Source: Chapter 13.
