摘要
Patients with ventricular drainage map develop lesions of the corpus callosum. In order to study frequency, pathogenesis and clinical relevance of callosal lesions, 301 routine CT investigations of 79 patients with ventricular drainage were reviewed. Hypodense lesions in the anterior part of the corpus callosum were observed in 7 patients with longstanding hydrocephalus of variable origin, in 2 cases the corpus callosum was slightly swollen. All 7 patients showed signs of forced ventricular drainage. The callosal alterations were clinically inapparent and potentially reversible. Knowledge of these lesions is important to avoid misinterpretation.
