Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We performed magnetic resonance imaging in 30 patients with hydrocephalus with Sophy adjustable pressure valves (PAVS). A pressure check following the MRI study showed a significant proportion with pressure valve changes, which could easily be readjusted by percutaneous manipulation. The value of the PAVS and its safety during MRI examinations are discussed. |
