Corpus Callosal Signal Changes in Patients with Obstructive Hydrocephalus After Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting
AJNR 22:158-162, Lane,J.I.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Signal abnormalities within the corpus callosum after ventricular shunting for obstructive hydrocephalus are not uncommon and are probably produced by compression of the corpus callosum against the falx before ventricular decompression. This distinctive appearance should not be mistaken for significant disease. Recognition of this pattern of signal abnormality will help avoid unnecessary intervention.
