Abstract

#Bladder perforation is a rare complication in patients with #ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS). In the literature there are reported a total of 27 cases with diverse clinical manifestations. We describe a case of a patient with bladder perforation and urethral exteriorization of a VPS catheter, with a thorough review of the literature to know how to deal with this complication.The placement of a VPS catheter is the most frequent procedure for the treatment of #hydrocephalus. Perforation of abdominal viscera of the distal end of the catheter are rare complications described in the literature. The first cases of #spontaneous bladder perforation were reported by Grosfeld et al. [1] in 1974, who described two cases in two pediatric patients. Since then, a total of 27 cases have been published. This complication can have different clinical #manifestations. Being a rare pathology, there is no consensus on the treatment, however, most authors recommend replacing the system and antimicrobial therapy [2]. We describe another the case and a review of the literature.
