Silent Migration of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt per Anus in a Child: Management and Review of Literature.
Asian Journal of Neurosurgery 2018 April
The aim of this paper is to report a case of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt tube coming out through the anus in a 6-year-old boy, who had undergone shunt revision surgery for the malfunctioning of the peritoneal end 6 months back. Among the complications of VP shunt surgery, such unusual migration of peritoneal end of the VP shunt is very rare. The possible factors responsible for this complication, in our case, were abdominal adhesions and thin bowel wall in the children. Although this complication has been previously reported, it remains an exceedingly rare case. Risk factors and possible mechanisms of migration are discussed.
