Abstract Abdominal complications after placement of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt are commonly reported but asymptomatic bowel perforation with enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) is rare. This case describes a young male patient who underwent VP shunt for hydrocephalus 10 years ago. He presented with ECF due to the non-functioning abdominal end of the shunt. Patient was managed with laparotomy with fistulectomy with bowel resection and anastomosis. ECF is a rare complication of VP shunt.

Abstract ventriculoparitoneal shunt is well established modality of treatment for hydrocephalous. Complication of v-p shunt are also mentioned in literature like shunt infection shunt migration etc [8]. Here we are describing a rare complication of vp shunt which barely mentioned in literature. A 22 yr male admitted with complain of headache & vomiting patient was diagnosed to have tubercular meningities with hydrocephalous. Patient planned for ventriculoparietoneal shunt surgery and vp shunt was done. On 3rd post-surgery day patient develop weakness in Left side of body. Urgent ncct head done which showed EDH at surgical site. Immediate craniotomy and evacuation of hematoma was done patient improved and discharged. Thus we are discussing the importance of meticulous surgery for v-p shunt, post op ct scan and treatment.

Ureteral perforation is a rare complication of abdominal infection, especially in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We reported a case of ureteral perforation caused by a secondary amebiasis in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Following bowel perforation and immunocompromised conditions, secondary right ureteral perforation was not easily to be treated well. He was treated with percutaneous drainage initially. Definite and successful treatment by a Boari flap was delayed until his underling disease was under control.

Uncommon Complication

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a common procedure performed for treatinghydrocephalus. Recently, endoscopy has been used in selected cases. Proximalmigration of VP shunt is a rare complication. Complete intracranial migration of VPshunt is very rare with very few cases reported in literature. We report a case ofcomplete intracranial migration of a VP shunt which was endoscopically retrieved.The possible mechanisms causing this very uncommon complication and themanagement are explained.

Proper Training

Intestinal perforation is a rare complication of induced abortion but it is not rare in our country. It is most commonly seen in countries in which abortions are performed by people without proper training and with sharp pointed instruments without knowledge of anatomy. Bowel perforation occurs when the posterior vaginal wall or uterus is violated, allowing the instrument to pierce underlying structures. The ileum and sigmoid colon are the most commonly injured portions of bowel due to their anatomic location. Here we discussed a woman who sustained a perforation at anterior rectal wall from abortion and was managed successfully.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/fmcj.v7i1.10299Faridpur Med. Coll.

Laboratory Investigations

A rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is presented. A 11-year old boy presented with a tube coming out of the mouth. He had multiple VP shunt done earlier. Clinical features, laboratory investigations and imaging studies showed that the peritoneal end had perforated the gastro-oesophageal junction and then prolapsed trans-orally. The shunt was removed and he made an uneventful recovery. Though migration of the peritoneal end of the shunt tube into various organs is known, to our knowledge, only six/seven cases have been reported in the English literature of a shunt tube coming out of the mouth and this is the next. The management of this very rare problem is discussed.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjms.v13i4.20654Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.13(4) 2014 p.492-495

High Index Of Suspicion

Pancreaticopleural fistula is an extremely rare complication of chronic pancreatitis. Interestingly it may present without any symptoms of pancreatitis per se. The diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion due to the predominant thoracic symptoms. Cases with massive, rapidly refilling, refractory pleural effusion in the setting of pancreatitis (symptomatic or asymptomatic) should be suspected of having a pancreaticopleural fistula. We report two cases of pancreaticopleural fistula. One of the patient also had pancreatic divisum and to the best of our knowledge this is the first case report of pancreatic divisum with pancreaticopleural fistula in the literature.
