Description

A 48-day-old male pug (1.1kg) showing “setting sun sign” with dome-shaped head, open fontanelle and bilateral divergent strabismus, was diagnosed as hydrocephalus, by radiography, ultrasonography and ventriculography. After application of ventriculo-peritoneal shunt (V-P shunt) resulting in signs of success, the dog died from undetermined causes 7.5 months after the operation.
