Complete intracranial migration of ventriculoperitoneal shunt: a common procedure with a rare complication

Abstract Background Ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion is widely used in the treatment of different kinds of hydrocephalus. Shunt failure is one of the most common complications; however complete intracranial shunt migration is rarely reported. Case presentation We report a case of an eleven-month...

Shunt failure is one of the most common complications; however complete intracranial shunt migration is rarely reported. Case presentation We report a case of an eleven-month-old girl with complete intracranial migration of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt (Chhabra Shunt). We removed this intracranially migrated shunt with the help of an endoscope (GAAB) and inserted a new Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt (Medtronic Shunt) on the opposite side. She had a good clinical outcome. Conclusion Complete intracranial shunt migration is an extremely rare complication. It is likely due to raised intra-peritoneal pressure, strong head movements, and inadequate shunt fixation. The best possible approach to prevent shunt migration would be better patient handling along with appropriate operative techniques.Hammad MehtabAhtesham KhizarSoha ZahidSameer Saleem TebhaMaha IrfanSpringerOpenarticleIntracranial migrationVentriculoperitoneal shuntShunt complicationSurgeryRD1-811Neurosciences.
