  • Title: Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst.
    Author: Pathi R, Sage M, Slavotinek J, Hanieh A.
    Journal: Australas Radiol; 2004 Mar; 48(1):61-3. PubMed ID: 15027923.
    Abstract:
    A case of an abdominal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pseudocyst in a patient with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt is reported to illustrate this known but rare complication. In the setting of a VP shunt, the frequency of abdominal CSF pseudocyst formation is approximately 3.2%, often being precipitated by a recent inflammatory or infective process or recent surgery. Larger pseudocysts tend to be sterile, whereas smaller pseudocysts are more often infected. Ultrasound and CT each have characteristic findings.
