P.062 MR Venography predicts increased intracranial hypertension in children with hydrocephalus

Background: We investigated whether the presence of dural sinus narrowing is a more reliable marker of intracranial hypertension / shunt failure in children than the imaging finding of hydrocephalus. -Methods: Cranial MRIs of n=12 children were included when being well and when there was definitive intracranial hypertension as per follow-up and intraoperative results (gold standard). Images werde assessed for hydrocephalus on T2w images and narrowing of dural sinuses on MR vengraphy (diameter of
