    Abstract:
    Distal migration of ventriculoperitoneal shunt is rare. We present this unusual complication in 5 patients. The lower end of the shunt was extruded from right lumbar region, cervical area, umbilicus and rectum. The cause of such extrusion is not known. The patients were managed by shunt removal followed by shunt replacement on the opposite side.
