Subgaleal migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2006
Blockage 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 ...

Predictors of ventriculoperitoneal shunt pathology

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2001
Diagnosis 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

Colonic perforation by ventriculoperitoneal shunts

Surgical Neurology, 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%.

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.

Common and Uncommon Causes of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Malfunction Diagnosed on Plain Radiographs.

Current problems in diagnostic radiology, 2017
Thousands of patients with hydrocephalus are treated successfully with ventriculoperitoneal shunts. Ventriculoperitoneal shunts are known to have high malfunction rates, most of which are owing to mechanical causes.

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt tube infection and changing pattern of antibiotic sensitivity in neurosurgery practice: Alarming trends.

Neurology India, 2016
INTRODUCTION Infection associated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a severe complication with a high morbidity and substantial mortality. There are no guidelines to choose antibiotics in case of shunt infection. Most surgeons use antibiotics of their

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 ...

Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Implantation

2009
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt implantation technique has benefited from the use the minimal access implantation of the shunt end in the abdomen. Re-do procedures of ventriculoperitoneal shunt implantations are better performed under endoscopic vision when adhesions cause problems in shunt implantation and shunt end placement.
