Abdominal Cerebrospinal Fluid Pseudocyst—A Rare Complication of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

An abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Several theories have been suggested to explain its occurrence. The main symptoms are painful distension and vomiting, on examination, as ultrasound computed tomography confirm diagnosis. treatment involves drainage associated with drain relocation resection the pseudocyst’s wall. We report two patients diagnosed this condition who underwent surgical treatment. first patient had an unremarkable 12-month follow-up, while second died seventh postoperative day due intravascular disseminated coagulation. In these patients, cause has not identified; however, infection cannot be ruled out.
