Abstract
ITB pumps are widely used in the treatment of intractable spasticity for many clinical indications, including cerebral palsy and spinal cord injury. High-dose intrathecal administration places the patient at significant risk for withdrawal in the event of device malfunction, necessitating rapid and complete evaluation of the pump-catheter system. This article reviews the approach to imaging evaluation of ITB pump-catheter systems, with specific emphasis on radiography, fluoroscopy, CT, and nuclear scintigraphy.Entities:
