Three cases of catheter-induced inflammation are presented, two of which involved brain parenchyma and the ventricular system and one that involved the soft tissues of the scalp. All of the catheters were composed of natural rubber and had been in place for several years. Abnormalities seen on computed tomographic scans in these patients were variable but included mass effect, vasogenic edema, catheter destruction, calcification, and abnormal contrast enhancement of the parenchyma adjacent to the catheters. Certain features on the scans of the two patients with intracranial disease, however, were common to both cases, allowing the correct preoperative diagnosis to be made in the second patient encountered.
