  • Title: Intragastric migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter.
    Author: Oi SZ, Shose Y, Asano N, Oshio T, Matsumoto S.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1987 Aug; 21(2):255-7. PubMed ID: 3309715.
    Abstract:
    A child developed bacterial meningitis and shunt dysfunction 2 years after the insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for posttraumatic hydrocephalus. The distal end of the shunt catheter had penetrated the gastric wall. We found no other report of intragastric shunt catheter migration with successful treatment.
