ventriculoperitoneal (vp) shunt is one of the most common pediatric neurosurgical procedures. it has various complications that may have serious consequences such as shunt dysfunction, and unusual migration. although, migration of shunt catheter to bladder, heart, umbilicus, rectum, pulmonary artery, and stomach has been reported, migration to vagina is a rare one. in this report we present a 1...
Background: Shunting procedures specifically ventriculoperitoneal shunts are the main line of treatment for management of hydrocephalus despite available new techniques and systems of shunting. Associated complications should be recognized and managed properly,but the most recognized complications are shunt obstruction which its prevalence through surgical approach is discussed here. Two approa...
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 ...
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is the most commonly performed procedure for the management of hydrocephalus. VP shunt related complications remain a persistent problem in clinical practice. However, extrusion of components of shunt apparatus is very rare. Extrusion of ventriculo-peritonea l(VP) shunt catheter is an unusual complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt Surgery. The authors report ...
A case of spontaneous nontraumatic cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea secondary to aqueductal stenosis is reported. The patient required direct repair of the fistula after the insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for aqueductal stenosis. We emphasise an unusual complication of tension pneumocephalus in a case where the shunt patency had been substantiated. Intracranial pressure fall due to th...
A case of E. coli meningitis in a patient with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was encountered recently at our institution . A shunt-induced bowel perforation was demonstrated by injecting contrast material percutaneously into the proximal end of the shunt. Apparently, retrograde spread of normal bowel flora via the shunt was responsible for his unusual Gram-negative meningitis. Because of the dis...
Infection is a common complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunts, and ascites is one of the rare manifestations of shunt infection. We report a neonate in whom shunt infection is presented only by ascites. The causative organism, coagulase negative staphylococci, was detected only in the cerebrospinal fluid although peritoneal fluid analysis was consistent with infection. Our patient shows the...
In this case report we have described an unusual complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt migration into a breast implant capsule. The patient was appropriately diagnosed with computed tomographic imaging and successfully managed with shunt revision and cerebrospinal fluid aspiration. Given the high complication profile of ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheters, this case suggests an opportunit...
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt application is among the most frequently performed procedure in the treatment of hydrocephalus. Despite the peritoneal cavity being convenient for absorption of cerebrospinal fluid, multiple complications related to the shunt tend to develop in this area. Anal migration of ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter is seen as a rare complication due to the intestinal perfora...
Dr. Marcelo Luis Mudo – Rua dos Apeninos 930 / 14o 04104-020 São Paulo SP Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a common form of treatment for hydrocephalus. Although simple technically, a high level of surgical complications have been described We reported a case of ventriculoperitoneal shunt failure due to migration of the distal catheter under a silicone breast...
