EXTRUSION FROM URETHRAL MEATUS AND MASSIVE PLEURAL EFFUSION - RARE COMPLICATIONS OF VENTRICULOPERITONEAL SHUNT

Hydrocephalus is a very common presentation especially in paediatric population that can be multifactorial like infections, genetic disorders or spina bifida leading to increased intracranial pressure. In order to decrease this pressure, ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a very commonly performed n...
