  • Title: [Migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in the liver: A rare complication].
    Author: Eap C, Blauwblomme T, Dupuy L, Bennis S, Faber B, Mireau E, Aldea S, Frileux P, Gaillard S.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 2012 Dec; 58(6):391-3. PubMed ID: 22769025.
    Abstract:
    We report on a case of migration inside the liver of the distal end of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter in an adult patient. A simple laparotomy permitted the surgical removal with no haemorrhagic complication. We discuss the other cases reported in the literature and we outline the need to perform an abdominal CT scan in patients carrying a VP shunt with digestive symptoms.
