BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although enlargement of the cerebral ventricles plays a central role in the diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), there are no reports on the use of volumetric assessment to distinguish between patients who respond to ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery and those who do not. The purpose of this study is to explore the association between preoperative intracrani...
There are a number of complications associated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) surgery. The authors present a rare case of iatrogenic common carotid artery injury during VPS surgery.
A 69-year-old woman with bilateral breast implants and a newly inserted ventriculoperitoneal shunt presented 4-day history of swelling the right breast. There were no signs infection blood tests normal. With help ultrasound, mammogram, computed tomography, distal catheter was found to be surrounding implant. During surgery tunneled away from reinserted into peritoneal cavity. She discharged nex...
Neural tube defect with its global involvement of nervous system has lot of implications. There is cotroversy in terms of timing of repair, simultaneous or metachronous ventriculoperitoneal shunt and criteria for shunt surgery in neonatal age. We are reporting our approach and results of management of this disease in neonatal period.
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 ...
Objective The literature describes various cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage techniques to alleviate posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in preterm newborns; however, consensus has not been reached. The scope of this study was describing a case series of premature neonates with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus and assessing the outcomes of different approaches used for CSF diversion. Methods A consec...
Tension pneumocephalus is a rare and life threatening complication of intracranial surgical procedures, and requires immediate recognition and surgical intervention. Tension pneumocephalus following ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery is extremely rare and commonly seen as a delayed complication. To our knowledge, early postoperative tension pneumocephalus after shunt surgery was reported only i...
The case of a child admitted to hospital with acute onset of hemiparesis and seizure is presented. Extensive evaluation of an acute ischemic event in the form of a brain infarct found on brain magnetic resonance imaging was inconclusive. Two months later, the patient was referred with severe hydrocephalus, which was managed with ventriculoperitoneal shunting in the presence of normal ventricula...
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a rare cause of ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections. We describe the isolation and identification of a novel, rapidly growing, nonpigmented NTM from an abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst. The patient presented with fevers, nausea, and abdominal pain and clinically improved after shunt removal. NTM identification was performed by amplicon and whole-g...
