A patient received a ventriculoperitoneal shunt operation for hydrocephalus after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Postoperative computed tomography incidentally revealed asymptomatic pneumothorax caused by a shunt tube passing through the thoracic space. The patient was observed without removal of the tube or chest drainage, with the expectation of spontaneous recovery. However, the pneumothorax was n...
A 12 year-old girl patient with a history of ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement at the age of 6 months presented with progressive bilateral decrease in visual acuity. Ophthalmologic examination was consistent with bilateral papilledema. No other systemic manifestations of increased intracranial pressure were evident and laboratory work-up excluded other inflammatory or infectious processes. W...
We report the safety and efficacy of bilateral foraminoplasty of Monro in a patient with partial occlusion of right Monro and complete occlusion of the left one. A 38-year-old man who underwent a ventriculoperitoneal shunt three years ago, and shunt revision surgery twice, presented with hydrocephalus, and was referred to us because of continuing complaints of headaches, nausea ...
Objective: The authors report a rare case of giant thoracic meningocele causing acute respiratory compromise, treated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Case Report: We report the case of a 36-year-old with severe scoliosis status post repair over a decade ago, neurofibromatosis type I, and a known large meningocele in the left thoracic cavity, presenting with new acute respiratory compromise. ...
INTRODUCTION Ventriculoperitoneal (V-P) shunt surgery is the most common technique used for the treatment of hydrocephalus. The migration of ventriculoperitoneal shunt to the bladder is rare. Only two cases have been previously reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION We report on a 38-year-old male who had hydrocephalus and V-P shunt for 12 years. Two years ago, he found himself with re...
To explore the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters in the quantitative assessment of early brain microstructure changes before and after ventriculoperitoneal shunt in children with high intracranial pressure hydrocephalus.Ten patients with communicating hydrocephalus (age: 2-36 months) and 14 age-/gender-matched controls (age: 2-36 months) were enrolled in this study. All patients ...
AIM This study evaluated the clinical and economic outcomes of ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections for the first time between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2011 were included in this study. Demographic, clinical, and economic data were analyzed retrospectively. A cost coefficient (total cost/follow-up perio...
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to estimate whether routine preoperative shunt series (POSS) lead to clinically relevant new information, that helps in the management of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) obstruction, focusing on its role in diagnosing mechanical causes of
A female baby of one-and-a-half-year old presented with extrusion of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt through umbilicus. On exploration, the urachal remnant was found perforated by VP shunt and the tube exteriorized through umbilicus. Child was managed successfully with excision of urachal remnant, removal of VP shunt, antibiotic treatment and re-insertion of shunt.
Multiple shunt failure is a challenge in pediatric neurosurgery practice and one of the most feared complications of hydrocephalus. Objective: To demonstrate that laparoscopic procedures for distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt failure may be an effective option for patients who underwent multiple revisions due to repetitive manipulation of the peritoneal cavity, abdominal pseudocyst, peritonitis ...
