Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Complications in the European Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Multicenter Study.

Operative Neurosurgery, 2018
BACKGROUND Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VP-shunt) is the standard of treatment for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). However, a thorough investigation of VP-shunt complications in this population is lacking.

Infertility and Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

The Journal of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, 2004
Two women with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt had primary infertility. At laparoscopy they both had extensive peritoneal adhesions that made evaluation of pelvic organs impossible and increased the risk of bowel injury. History of ventriculoperitoneal shunt should be considered a contraindication of laparoscopy.

Cryptococcal ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2014
The standard treatment of hydrocephalus is placement of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. While infection is a common complication, rarely are fungal organisms implicated. Cryptococcus neoformans has been reported in only nine cases of shunt infection to our knowledge.

Ascites in ventriculoperitoneal shunt

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2003
To fetch out the factors responsible for ascites, following shunt CSF diversion in cases of intracarnial lesions. Four children developing ascites/abdominal psuedocyst following ventriculoperitoneal shunt were analyzed to see the factors responsible for such complication.Records of 4 cases developing ascites were studied retrospectively. These children

Hydrocele After Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1981
Hydroceles were noted in six patients who had ventriculoperitoneal shunts at less than 1 year of age. These took a few days to several months to develop. The incidence was 7% in girls and 23% in boys less than 1 year of age. Hydrocephalus was especially severe in the older patients in the group.

Subcutaneously Obstructed Ventriculoperitoneal Shuntogram

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2015
A 65-year-old man presented with headache, altered mental status, and somnolence. The patient had a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt revised a month earlier. A CT of the head was performed, which demonstrated interval development of hydrocephalus compared with the prior examination done at the time of the shunt revision.

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.

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.

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction during pregnancy

Neurosurgery, 1990
Abstract Many women with cerebrospinal fluid shunts are now reaching reproductive age. Shunt malfunction may occur during pregnancy, and management requires a well-planned, combined neurosurgical and obstetrical approach. We present a case of ventriculoperitoneal shunt obstruction manifesting during the third trimester managed ...

CSF protein concentration associated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt obstruction in tuberculous meningitis.

The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2018
INTRODUCTION Hydrocephalus occurs in 85% of patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) insertion is first-line treatment for relieving increased intercranial pressure.
