  • Title: Cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst presenting as a hepatic mass: a complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
    Author: Wang F, Miller JH.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1989; 19(5):326-7. PubMed ID: 2755746.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 3-year-old male child is reported who had a history of congenital hydrocephalus, treated by VP shunting. Severe complications with VP shunting are rare, but in this case the shunt had apparently perforated the liver, causing a pseudocyst to form and subsequent hepatomegaly. The shunt was revised surgically and the pseudocyst resected.
