Ectopic hydrocephalic shunt, 3D MRI scan
Ectopic hydrocephalic shunt. Coloured 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the pelvis of a patient, showing an ectopic (abnormally positioned) hydrocephalic shunt (ring, centre). A hydrocephalic shunt is used to treat hydrocephalus, an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. The shunt, a prosthetic one-way valve, would normally be positioned in the abdomen, where it drains the excess CSF from the brain to the peritoneal cavity to be reabsorbed into the blood stream. Here the shunt has detached and moved to the pelvis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured 3D MRI scan of the pelvis, revealing an extraordinary medical anomaly - an ectopic hydrocephalic shunt. In this image, we witness the abnormal positioning of a prosthetic one-way valve used to treat hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by an excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. Typically, a hydrocephalic shunt is implanted in the abdomen to facilitate drainage of excess CSF from the brain into the peritoneal cavity for reabsorption into the bloodstream. However, in this case, we observe that circumstances have taken an unexpected turn as the shunt has detached and migrated to its new location within the pelvis. The intricate details captured by this 3D MRI scan highlight both the complexity and fragility of our bodies' internal systems. The contrasting black background intensifies our focus on this foreign body's presence amidst bones and vital organs. With its vibrant colours and remarkable clarity, this image serves as a reminder of how medical advancements continue to push boundaries in understanding and treating conditions such as hydrocephalus. It also underscores that even with modern technology at our disposal, there are still mysteries waiting to be unraveled within every human body. Science Photo Library never ceases to amaze us with their ability to capture these awe-inspiring moments where science meets artistry.
