Intragastric migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter
Neurosurgery.
1987 Aug.
Abstract
A child developed bacterial meningitis and shunt dysfunction 2 years after the insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for posttraumatic hydrocephalus. The distal end of the shunt catheter had penetrated the gastric wall. We found no other report of intragastric shunt catheter migration with successful treatment.
