Ventriculo-atrial shunt nephritis.
Infection in the early post-operative period is a common complication of ventriculo-atrial shunting. Renal disease secondary to shunt infection is uncommon and its rather insidious onset may make diagnosis difficult. The syndrome may therefore be relatively under-recognized. We describe a case which illustrates an unusually acute presentation followed by complete resolution of the disease by ap...
متن کامل[Cardiac tamponade as a complication of ventriculo atrial shunt].
Cardiac tamponade is an uncommon disorder in pediatric patients. We report a case of cardiac tamponade secondary to accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid due to ventriculo-atrial derivation (VAD) disfunction. An 11-month-old girl was assisted because of respiratory distress and tachycardia, without fever. She had a ventriculoatrial derivation, because of hydro-cephalus since two month earlier. Th...
متن کاملEndovascular Intervention for Repositioning the Distal Catheter of Ventriculo-Atrial Shunt
Displacement of distal ventriculo-atrial (VA) shunt is not uncommon. However, misplacement of the distal catheter of VA shunt in the internal jugular vein is a possibility, especially when conducted without intraoperative monitoring. We describe a patient in whom a VA shunt was performed due to failure of ventriculo-peritoneal shunt and the distal catheter of the shunt was found to be misplaced...
متن کاملCentral line placement in the presence of a ventriculo-atrial shunt.
If a CVC is not placed correctly, it may result in complications including bleeding, pneumothorax and potentially death. We describe the placement of a left sided CVC in the presence of a ventriculo-atrial (VA) shunt on the right side, using a technique that minimized the risk to the shunt and the patient. A CVC was chosen in this case due to the potential need for monitoring of hemodynamic...
متن کاملFatal intratumoral hemorrhage following ventriculo-peritoneal shunt.

Most of these complications tend to increase morbidity with prolonged hospital stay and cost. Though subdural, extradural or intracerebral hematomas have been described af...
