ShuntCheck Performance Characteristics in Asymptomatic Pseudotumor Cerebri Patients

The purpose of the study is to determine if the ShuntCheck test can correctly identify flow or no flow in a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in patients with pseudotumor cerebri.

Flow may be limited due to slit ventricles
