Transdiaphragmatic migration of a ventriculoperitoneal catheter

Colonic Complications of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunts

Neurosurgery, 1983
Abstract Late perforation of the large bowel by the abdominal catheter of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is extremely rare. Four of the five reported patients subsequently died. We report here three patients who presented with this complication and were treated successfully.

Colonic perforation by ventriculoperitoneal shunts

World Neurosurgery, 1986
Two cases of colonic perforation by a ventriculoperitoneal shunt are presented. One was diagnosed by routine abdominal roentgenograms, the other by instilling metrizamide into the distal shunt tubing. A review of the 32 previously reported cases revealed a mortality of 15%.

Appendicitis in Children with a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 1998
The presentation of an acute abdomen in children with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt requires skilful diagnostic workup. Apart from complications caused by the shunt, primary abdominal pathological conditions must be taken into consideration, particularly in the older child.

Silicone allergy in ventriculoperitoneal shunts

Child's Nervous System, 1994
Reported are the cases of three hydrocephalic patients who developed a clinically heterogenous entity with an allergic rejection of their silicone ventriculoperitoneal shunts. All of the patients had an original presentation indicative of a shunt infection, but laboratory analysis revealed sterile cerebrospinal fluid in all three cases.

Scrotal perforation by a ventriculoperitoneal shunt

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 1997
A case is reported of an adult male in whom the distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt tip migrated through the right inguinal canal into the scrotum. It perforated the scrotal skin, leading to an infection of the still draining shunt. Migration of ventriculoperitoneal shunts into the scrotum occurs occasionally in children but until now has not been ...

Ascites Complicating Ventriculoperitoneal Shunts

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1988
SummaryVentriculoperitoneal shunts are currently a standard therapy for obstructive hydrocephalus. These shunts are associated with a variety of abdominal complications, one of which is the development of ascites. We report an 11‐year‐old girl with a ventriculoperioneal shunt in whom a low‐grade peritoneal infection presented with ascites.

Scrotal migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt

BMJ Case Reports
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the most common procedure done for hydrocephalus in the paediatric population. While shunt infection and shunt malfunction remain the most common complications, shunt migration is not frequently observed. Being present in a large peritoneal cavity, theoretically, a shunt can travel to a variety of locations.
