Unusual complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the conventional method of managing hydrocephalus until recently that endoscopic third ventriculostomy is becoming popular. The major disadvantage of VPS is the fact that it constitutes a foreign body and prone to complications such as mechanical blockage, shunt infection, shunt migration and rarely shunt protrusion.

متن کاملRichter Hernia As a Complication of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Placement
Richter hernia results from herniation of the antimesenteric wall of the bowel without compromising its lumen. Insidious onset and misleading symptoms lead to delay in diagnosis and a high mortality. We report a case of Richter hernia, after ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement which was later reduced and the defect closed laparoscopically.
متن کاملOccipital intradiploic CSF pseudocyst: an unusual complication of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction.
We report a rare and unique complication of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt malfunction. A progressively expansile, CSF-containing occipital intradiploic cyst developed in a 15-year-old boy at the site of cystoperitoneal shunt draining a Dandy-Walker cyst; the shunt was placed when the boy was 4 years old. A proposed pathogenesis of the lesion is discussed.
متن کاملVentriculoperitoneal Shunt Failure as a Complication of Laparoscopic Surgery
OBJECTIVE The authors report the first documented case of laparoscopically induced ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt failure. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Laparoscopic surgery has become a preferred method of accessing and treating a variety of intraperitoneal pathology. Surgeons can expect to encounter patients who have previously undergone placement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts who present ...
متن کاملAbdominal pseudocyst: a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting.
Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pseudocyst is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting. It is well known in children but uncommon in adults. We present a 30-year-old woman with abdominal distension, vomiting and confusion caused by her developing an abdominal CSF pseudocyst, 13 years after her last shunt revision. Adult neurologists need to be aware of this late complication.
