Abstract
The case of a child presenting delayed unilateral hydrocephalus secondary to ventriculo-atrial shunt is herein reported. Clinical and radiological features of this rare complication are discussed. Unilateral hydrocephalus as a consequence of CSF shunt is a rapidly evolving process with minor general or focal symptoms which can rapidly lead to death.
