Ventriculoperitoneal shunts are used as a common treatment for hydrocephalus to divert cerebrospinal fluid into the peritoneal cavity. However, the shunt devices have a high incidence of malfunction mainly caused by catheter obstruction or infection and are associated with various complications, 10-30% of which are abdominal. These complications include: peritoneal pseudocysts; pseudotumor of the mesentery; inguinal hernia; volvulus; ascites; peritonitis; migration of the catheter through the vagina, scrotum, umbilicus, or intestinal tract; and intestinal obstruction. In this paper, we report a patient with a large pseudocyst in the anterior extraperitoneal space caused by migration of a distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter (peritoneal catheter) that migrated from the peritoneal cavity to the
anterior extraperitoneal space. |
