The ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt has been one of the primary methods for treating hydrocephalus many years and is most frequent surgical interventions performed in neurosurgery using a variety techniques different VP types. Consequently, insertion associated with complications, including failure, functional mechanical failure such as migration. Shunt migration to gastrointestinal or urogenital tract rare distressing which can lead ascending infection even meningitis.

متن کاملOtogenic Pneumocephalus Associated with a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt
Otogenic pneumocephalus is a condition of intracranial air originating from the middle ear or mastoid air cells. This communication between the intracranial cavity and the pneumatic cavities is usually associated with trauma after cranial fractures or iatrogenic trauma. We present a rare case of otogenic pneumocephalus arising in the left posterior fossa from wellpneumatized mastoid air cells. ...
