This exhibit displays a silhouette view of the upper body of a generic female figure highlighting a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The shunt penetrates into one of the ventricles and then courses down through the neck and torso where the distal end collides in the abdomen. Arrows represent the flow of excess CSF through this tube showing how this shunt drains the excess fluid from the brain down into the abdomen where it can be reabsorbed by the body.
