Findings

Right posterior parietal approach ventriculostomy catheter with the tip crossing the midline and terminating in the body of the left lateral ventricle.

Findings of Dandy-Walker malformation including vermian aplasia, torcular elevation, and cystic enlargement of the fourth ventricle. The splenium of the corpus callosum is small in size as is the rostrum. There is no midline shift. There are no extra axial collections. There is absence of the septum pellucidum. Major flow voids are preserved.

Artifact in the right frontal region at the site of the shunt catheter. Moderate to severe bilateral ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary mucosal opacification is again noted. Large left and minimal right mastoid effusions are stable from prior study.
