A member asked:
On my ct scan it showed one ventricle is bigger than the other one the other one is small and i have a vp shunt so what does this mean?

Lateral ventricular: You should go and see your neurologist, the reason for the shunt is that the CSF fluid did not drain properly. The difference in size of the lateral ventricles, may be normal or not. Must probably this was a follow-up CT scan, is there any difference with the previous ones?.If there is a difference, you may require a revision.
