Lateral ventricular volumes were measured on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans by independent raters in 18 subjects (11 psychotic patients and 7 healthy control subjects) with two different approaches: a point-counting stereological (PCS) technique and a computerized technique based on segmentation algorithms. The correlation between the two techniques was very high (r = 0.96), and phantom studies showed good validity for both approaches. These findings and the technical simplicity of the PCS technique support its potential use for MRI morphometric measurements.

We report a case of delayed intrapleural migration of the peritoneal catheter of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. This is an unusual but life-threatening complication of peritoneal shunting for the treatment of hydrocephalus. A method of treatment and abbreviated review of shunt complications is included.
