Intracardiac migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Here our group presents a rarely encountered case of ventriculoperitoneal shunt migration into the right atrium and ventricle of the heart. Being a large volume neurosurgical center, shunting procedures are commonplace in the operating theater, the vast majority of which are uncomplicated and thus c...
