Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Peritoneal Catheter Knot Formation
The ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a common procedure in pediatric neurosurgery that carries a risk of complications at cranial and abdominal sites. We report on the case of a child with shunt infection and malfunction. The peritoneal catheter was tethered within the abdominal cavity, precluding its removal. Subsequently, laparoscopic exploration identified a knot at the distal end of the p...
متن کاملUpward Migration of a Peritoneal Catheter Following Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt
We present an unusual case of peritoneal catheter migration following a ventriculoperitoneal shunt operation. A 7-month-old infant, who had suffered from intraventricular hemorrhage at birth, was shunted for progressive hydrocephalus. The peritoneal catheter, connected to an 'ultra small, low pressure valve system' (Strata®; PS Medical,Gola, CA, USA) at the subgaleal space, was placed into the ...
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 کاملAn unusual ventriculoperitoneal shunt complication: spontaneous knot formation.
This article aims to describe an extraordinary complication of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt system that formed a knot spontaneously and lead to a shunt malfunction. A 3-year-old male patient was operated due to posttraumatic hydrocephalus. After an uneventful follow-up period of 34 months, he presented with shunt malfunction. During the shunt revision surgery, the peritoneal ...
متن کاملVentriculoperitoneal shunt with communicating peritoneal & subcutaneous pseudocysts formation.
A case of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pseudocysts in a patient with a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is reported to describeacute unusual location of developmentof pseudocyst. In the setting of a VP shunt, the frequency of abdominal CSF pseudocyst formation is approximately 4.5%, often being precipitated by a recent inflammatory/infective process or recent surgery. Larger pseudocysts tend to be ...
