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.

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.
