Info

A well-defined spontaneously hyperdense ovoid lesion is seen at the roof of the 3rd ventricle measuring (2.6 x 2 x 1.8 cm), obstructing the foramen of Monro bilaterally with moderate dilatation of the lateral ventricles (obstructive hydrocephalus).
The tip of the ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is well-visualised at the occipital horn of the right lateral ventricle.
