CT and MR Imaging Features of Pyogenic Ventriculitis
AJNR 22:1510-1516, Fukui, M.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Ventricular debris was the most frequent sign of ventriculitis in this series. An irregular level was characteristic of debris in ventriculitis. Hydrocephalus and ependymal enhancement were less frequent signs. Detection of ventricular debris might facilitate diagnosis of pyogenic ventriculitis, a potentially fatal infection, and thus permit appropriate therapy.
