Abdominal pseudocyst complicating ventriculoperitoneal shunt: A rare indication for ventriculopleural shunt conversion

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Significant enlargement of the lateral ventricles in the patient with congenital hydrocephalus. Key Clinical Message Abdominal pseudocyst is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement. Ventriculopleural shunt (VPL) can be an effective treatment option for the recurrent complications of VP shunt failure.
