Background: Cerebrospinal fluid shunting is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the management of hydrocephalus. Although frequently performed, this procedure is not free of complications. Case description: We report a case of non-described shunt migration, in which the ventricle-peritoneal catheter, at the mediastinum level, crosses to the contralateral side. Conclusion: When we are faced with complications after ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgeries, we should consider unusual or even unpredictable possibilities.
