Key Points

  • The research aims to emphasize the significance of CT topograms for diagnosing ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunctions.
  • Focused on imaging techniques for diagnosing shunt disconnections.
  • Incorporated assessment of the 'sunset eye' sign as an indicator of hydrocephalus.
  • Observed that neglecting topogram observations can lead to misdiagnosis of shunt complications.
  • Identified the 'sunset eye' sign as a clear marker for evaluating hydrocephalus.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Disconnection of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a serious complication. The “sunset eye” sign is an important indicator of hydrocephalus. Observation of a CT topogram is an important diagnostic measure and should not be overlooked, and good care of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt should also be taken.
