Spot the correct spelling of a CSF-shunt procedure.


Options:

  1. Ventriculoperitoneal
  2. Ventriculoperitonal
  3. Ventriculaperitoneal
  4. Ventriculoperetoneal

Right Answer: Ventriculoperitoneal

A CSF shunt drains cerebrospinal fluid from the brain's ventricles into the peritoneal cavity of the abdomen. The medical term is therefore built from two parts, 'ventriculo' referring to the ventricles and 'peritoneal' referring to the peritoneum. Joining them correctly gives 'Ventriculoperitoneal', which is the first option. The other three choices each distort one segment of the word: 'Ventriculoperitonal' drops the letter e, 'Ventriculaperitoneal' replaces the connecting o with a, and 'Ventriculoperetoneal' misspells the peritoneal element. Hence the correctly spelt term is Ventriculoperitoneal.
