  • Title: Abdominal pain resulting from cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst and cholelithiasis.
    Author: Engelhard HH, Miller FB.
    Journal: South Med J; 1992 Aug; 85(8):851-2. PubMed ID: 1502630.
    Abstract:
    Patients treated with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt procedures for hydrocephalus may have abdominal pain related to complications stemming from the shunt tubing itself or to other intra-abdominal disease. In patients with VP shunts, usually children, lack of absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may produce a painful abdominal CSF pseudocyst. We have reported the rare occurrence of a CSF pseudocyst in an adult. The patient was also found to have cholelithiasis.
