Abstract

A 22-year old male who had undergone a #ventriculoperitoneal (V/P) shunt because of obstructive #hydrocephalus began to develop vomiting, abdominal distension and somnolence on the third day post operation. CT scan revealed dilated lateral ventricles, intestinal #pneumatosis and #extraperitonealfluid. The patient underwent #surgery and the #abdominal catheter of the shunt was reinserted. The patient did well after operation. Even though V/P shunts may induce several complications, there is no case of extraperioneal fluid of shunts in the literature.
