Ventriculo-subgaleal shunt: step-by-step technical note.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ventriculo-subgaleal (VSG) shunt placement is an option for temporary CSF diversion in neonate suffering from hydrocephalus. The authors describe step-by-step technique of VSG shunt assembly and insertion by using previously-cut shunt tubes and connector. It is simple and inexpensive. The authors also present a short review of the literature of the VSG shunt.

Distal subgaleal-peritoneal shunt migration into the abdominal wall with subsequent formation of a pre-peritoneal pseudocyst: a rare complication
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 کاملSubgaleal migration of the distal catheter of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
Proximal migration of the distal end of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt has been observed much more rarely than other numerous shunt-related complications. Subgaleal migration of the peritoneal end is one of the samples. In the preset report we have discussed a case of subgaleal migration of the peritoneal end detected as a result of the examinations performed for shunt dysfunction. There was vent...
متن کاملDetection of peritoneal pseudocyst following ventriculo-peritoneal shunt by radionuclide method [Persian]
A 14 years old boy who had a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt since the age of 5 months, was hospitalized due to headaches, nausea, vomiting and abdominal distension. In abdominal CT and sonographic evaluation, pancreatic pseudocyst or mesentric cyst were suspected. Evaluation of the shunt by radionuclide, however, was diagnostic and revealed a pseudocyst at the peritoneal end of the shunt. Th...

INDIAN PEDIATRICS 187 VOLUME 42FEBRUARY 17, 2005 Proximal migration is a rare complication of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt for congenital hydrocephalus. The sites reported for proximal migration include subgaleal space(1), scalp(2), subdural space, cavity of a subdural hematoma and ventricles(3,4). We encountered proximal migration of an entire ventriculoperitoneal shunt into the ventricles a...
متن کاملSubgaleal coiling of the proximal and distal components of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt
Migration is a rare complication of venticuloperitoneal shunts and is thought to be associated with the "memory" of the plastic tubing and the windlass effect of neck flexion and extension. The purpose of this case report is to detail a very rare case of complete distal to proximal shunt migration.
