Laparoscopic management of CSF pseudocyst abdomen
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pseudocyst formation is an uncommon cause of ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction in children. Standard management consisted of laparotomy with repositioning of the shunt and drainage of the pseudocyst. Recurrence of pseudocyst in these patients is well known and resulted in multiple laparotomies and eventually a ventriculo-atrial shunt. We managed a patient laparoscopically with drainage of the pseudocyst and repositioning of the shunt. The patient experienced no complications from the procedure, and there has been no recurrence of the pseudocyst in 2 years of follow-up. This technique has proven to be safe, with results comparable to the conventional open technique.

Combined laparoscopic cholecystectomy and drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst: a case report and review of current management.
Pancreatic pseudocyst is a well recognized complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Active treatment (surgical or endoscopic) has been recommended if the pseudocyst persists for more than 6 weeks after the diagnosis. Open trans-abdominal drainage was initially the mainstay treatment for it. However, over the past decade, laparoscopic techniques have been developed to provide patient with ...

Distal ventriculo-peritoneal shunt migration and extra-peritoneal CSF pseudocyst formation are unusual complications of shunt placement. We present a 65-year-old-female who received a subgaleal-peritoneal shunt to decompress a post-surgical subgaleal fluid collection. Eight weeks later, shunt series showed tight coiling of the distal catheter, and operative exploration found the distal shunt ti...
متن کاملA Giant Abdominal Cerebrospinal Fluid Pseudocyst
Background and Aim: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the most commonly used procedure for treatment of hydrocephalus in children. Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst is a rare complication but potentially fatal. The pathogenesis of this complication remains unclear. This complication should be considered during differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass. Our aim is to report how large ...

Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pseudocyst is an uncommon complication following ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt.

Clinical presentation was with progressive abdominal distension and features of in...
متن کاملThe Disappearing Abdominal Mass: Mesenteric Pseudocyst
INTRODUCTION Mesenteric pseudocyst is a term used to describe an abdominal cystic mass with an unknown abdominal origin. They are rare intra-abdominal masses, with a reported incidence of approximately 1 per 100,000 to 250,000 hospital admissions. Most cysts are benign and they may present differently, such as a disappearing mass or a mass that changes locations, thus posing a diagnostic challe...
