Cerebral parenchymal cyst: A rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction in an adult
We report a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt malfunction: an intraparenchymal pericatheter cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cyst. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported case of VP-shunt-related parenchymal CSF cyst to be reported in an adult patient, and the longest reported delay in development of this complication after shunt placement. Mass effect and edema fr...
متن کاملVentriculoperitoneal shunt blockage.
BACKGROUND Hydrocephalus is the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the ventricles and subarachnoid spaces, resulting in increased intracranial pressure. The treatment of choice is placement of ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt blockage is not an uncommon complication. Objective of the study was to find out the frequency, causes and site of ventriculoperiton...
متن کاملVentriculoperitoneal Shunt Failure as a Complication of Laparoscopic Surgery
OBJECTIVE The authors report the first documented case of laparoscopically induced ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt failure. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Laparoscopic surgery has become a preferred method of accessing and treating a variety of intraperitoneal pathology. Surgeons can expect to encounter patients who have previously undergone placement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts who present ...
متن کاملVentriculoperitoneal shunt failure from spontaneous knotting of the peritoneal catheter.
A 15-month-old girl with hydrocephalus from an intraventricular hemorrhage presented to the emergency department with irritability, lethargy and vomiting. Our neurosurgery team had inserted a ventriculoperitoneal shunt 10 months earlier. Computed tomography of the patient’s brain showed enlarged ventricles relative to postoperative imaging from when she had been asymptomatic. The child was brou...
متن کاملEffect of Electromagnetic Navigated Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Placement on Failure Rates
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of electromagnetic (EM) navigation system on ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt failure rate through comparing the result of standard shunt placement. METHODS All patients undergoing VP shunt from October 2007 to September 2010 were included in this retrospective study. The first group received shunt surgery using EM navigation. The second group had catheters ins...
