AbstractVentriculoperitoneal shunt catheters are very commonly used for hydrocephalus of varying etiologies in infancy to childhood to bypass the obstruction. Few people are aware of their complications, such as infection, obstruction, malfunctioning, displacements, fluid collections, disconnections, and entry into various intra-abdominal organs. These complications and related literature and images are presented in this essay. In some cases, a radiologist can be of use to a neurosurgeon to alert what complication a given catheter has produced. The objectives are (1) to describe the types and functioning of cerebrospinal fluid diversion shunt catheters, (2) to know what can go wrong with the position and function of these catheters, and (3) to understand the specific or syndromic states of complication.

AbstractCT-guided percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective procedure that allows minimally invasive treatment of abdominopelvic abscesses and fluid collections. This technique has become an alternative for surgery with lower morbility and mortality rates. In this pictorial essay, we aim at providing an overview of the technical approaches, the main clinical indications and complications of CT-guided percutaneous drainage, in order to provide a practical guide for interventional radiologists, with a review of the recent literature. The focus will be the CT-guidance, preferred when the interposition of viscera, vascular and skeletal structures, counteracts the ultrasound guidance.

Regular vascular access for haemodialysis requires a good calibre vein with high flow. This is typically achieved by anastomosing the radial artery to the cephalic vein at the wrist, the classic Brescia–Cimino arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Alternatives include brachial artery to cephalic/basilic vein and bridge graft fistulas. Ultrasound provides an inexpensive and non-invasive method of monitoring fistula effectiveness, confirming clinical suspicion of stenosis/occlusions and steal. It informs the vascular radiologist regarding the optimal approach to angioplasty and provides rapid assessment of anomalies of the AVF, including diagnosis of aneurysms, thrombus and post-operative fluid collections. This article is intended as an illustrative guide to performing a duplex examination and to clarify some of the problems which may arise.

The terminology and classification scheme of acute pancreatitis proposed at the initial Atlanta Symposium was reviewed, and a new consensus statement was recently proposed. Major changes include subdividing acute fluid collections in the first 4 weeks into “acute peripancreatic fluid collection” and “acute necrotic collection” based on the presence of necrotic debris. Delayed fluid collections have been similarly subdivided into “pseudocyst” and “walled-off necrosis.” Correct use of the new terms that describe these collections is important because they lead to different treatment decisions. The purpose of this article is to present an overview of fluid collections associated with acute pancreatitis, with an emphasis on their prognostic significance and impact on clinical management, and to illustrate the new terminology.
