Appendicitis in Children with a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 1998The 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, 1994Reported 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.

Hydrocele After Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1981Hydroceles 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.

Scrotal migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt
BMJ Case ReportsVentriculoperitoneal 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.

Ascites Complicating Ventriculoperitoneal Shunts
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1988SummaryVentriculoperitoneal 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 perforation by ventriculoperitoneal shunts
Surgical Neurology, 1986Two 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%.

Predictors of ventriculoperitoneal shunt pathology
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2001Diagnosis of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt pathology remains a dilemma in patients with nonspecific constitutional signs and symptoms. Eosinophilia has been described in association with shunt infection and malfunction. Our purpose was to further define the relationship of eosinophilia and shunt pathology and to determine other predictors of VP shunt

Subgaleal migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2006Blockage of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is very common. Here, we describe an unusual case of shunt blockage in an infant. He was shunted for hydrocephalus associated with a Dandy-Walker malformation diagnosed at birth. At surgery, the entire VP shunt was found to have migrated into the subgaleal space, which clinically presented as shunt ...
