Abstract: Intracranial shunts are amongst the most commonly performed neurosurgical procedures. These are often inserted long term and consequently, imaged in both short term and long term for stability, complications and follow up. While the dedicated neuroradiologists are usually familiar with the shunts, imaging appearances and complications, those radiologists not closely working with neurosurgeons often do not necessarily know the basic features and complications of these shunts. Most of the literature provide either extensive or piecemeal information on the shunts that several radiologists find difficult to confidently follow and usually the radiologists are either under confident to report on such shunt appearances or their complications. This brief review intends to provide useful information to the radiologists to know the basics of these shunts and their potential complications.
