  • Title: Infant with recurrent ventriculoperitoneal shunt migration to right scrotum.
    Author: Paterson A, Ferch R.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2018 May; 51():65-66. PubMed ID: 29483007.
    Abstract:
    Migration of the distal catheter of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to the scrotum is a documented but rare event. We present a case in which a 13 month old infant with hydrocephalus had recurrent migration of the peritoneal catheter to the right scrotum associated with a developing hydrocele. The patient underwent two revision operations and the distal catheter was ultimately shortened. He later underwent bilateral inguinal hernia repairs.
