Background & Aim: The use of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is the conventional method for the treatment of hydrocephalus. VP shunt failure is common. One of the complications of the VP shunt operation is the disconnection and migration of the shunt tube with predisposition to some complications like bowel perforation. Case report: An 8-year-old boy with a right VP shunt was referred to our center because of progressive loss of consciousness in the morning. A CT scan of the head established moderate hydrocephalus. A shunt series presented a disconnection of the distal tube of the shunt as the distal part was free in the abdominal cavity. The patient experienced a complete shunt revision. The abdominal incision was revived and the tube removed from the abdominal cavity gently. The patient was discharged 72 h later. Conclusion:Leaving disconnected catheters in situ brings the risk of possible future complications; so, early open or laparoscopic retrieval to eradicate disconnected shunt catheters must be considered. |
