Ventricular shunt in brain tumour. Coloured X-ray of a section through the head of a 57-year-old patient with a meningioma (brain tumour), showing a ventricular shunt (light lines). A ventricular shunt is a neurosurgical implant that allows the drainage of excess fluid from the ventricles (cavities) of the brain. Meningioma is a tumour arising from the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord.
