Spontaneous extrusion of the peritoneal catheter through the intact abdominal wall: report of two cases

Introduction: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is a neurosurgical intervention widely used in the control and treatment of hydrocephalus. The migration of the peritoneal catheter through the abdominal wall is an uncommon complication and its pathophysiology is unknown. Patients and Methods: Two ca...
