Images of glioblastoma patients: left column T1-weighted MR image after administration of gadolinium, centre collumn native CT scan showing CSF circulation disturbances and right collumn postoperative native CT scan after shunt placement. a A 41-year-old woman shows a pontomesencephalic glioblastoma in with compression of the aqueduct. b Widening of the lateral ventricles due to obstructive hydrocephalus. c Reduction of ventricular size after implantation of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. d A 64-year-old man shows a glioblastoma in the left temporomesial lobe. e Ventricular enlargement due to communicating hydrocephalus. f The intracranial catheter in situ after implantation of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. g A 1-year-old boy shows a midline glioblastoma, which resulted initially in obstructive hydrocephalus. h External hydrocephalus with extensive subdural hygroma. i After implantation of a subduroperitoneal shunt. j A 43-year-old woman shows a glioblastoma in the left parietal lobe/subcortical white matter. k Three weeks after tumor resection, CT imaging reveals isolated extension of the left posterior horn with local compression of adjacent structures and midline shift. l A shunt catheter in the posterior horn after implantation of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. m A 69-year-old man shows a glioblastoma in the left temporal lobe. n A space occupying fluid collection in the resection cavity. o The proximal shunt catheter inserted in the resection
