Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) images were obtained in two patients with achondroplasia. Communicating hydrocephalus was present without ventricular stasis of the radiopharmaceutical. CSF diversionary shunts may not be indicated in the usual patient with achondroplasia and hydrocephalus. This diagnostic study offers future promise in predicting those patients who may benefit from a CSF diversionary shunt.
