Popis: Aim: To evaluate the role of limited sequence MRI (LS MRI) in diagnosing obstructive from nonobstructive hydrocephalus for treatment planning correlating with surgical findings and in follow up cases of shunt treated hydrocephalus to predict the candidate requires revision surgery correlating with final treatment. Materials and Methods: A total of 235 cases were included in the study underwent limited sequence MRI, 121 cases were evaluated for diagnosing obstructive from nonobstructive hydrocephalus out of which 106 cases underwent surgery were correlated with surgical findings and 114 were symptomatic follow up cases evaluated for need of revision surgery. Diagnostic measures such as sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy were calculated. A p value of
