Foraminal migration of a lumboperitoneal shunt catheter tip

Ihsan Solaroglu et al. J Clin Neurosci. 2005 Nov.

Abstract

Although lumboperitoneal shunts have some advantages over other shunt types, they are also associated with unique complications, including scoliosis, back pain, and sciatica. We report a case of foraminal migration of a lumboperitoneal shunt catheter tip, which resulted in radicular pain and neurological deficit.
