Abstract Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a common, but usually asymptomatic condition characterized by marked elongation, dilatation, and tortousity of the vertebral and basilar arteries. VBD can sometimes present with symptoms related to mass effect like cranial nerve palsies, or with ischemia or hemorrhage. Hydrocephalus is an extremely uncommon presentation of VBD. We describe here a patient with VBD who presented with symptomatic hydrocephalus due to third ventricular obstruction, which was relieved by ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

Shunt Migration

Background: Lumboperitoneal shunt is an easy and effective way of managing benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) and other causes of increased intracranial pressure. Yet, it is associated with a relative high failure rate. Proximal migration of the shunt is rare and only few cases have been reported. Case Description: Here, we present a case of a 16-year-old female, diagnosed with BIH, who had a proximal shunt migration 4 months after surgery and was managed conservatively, along with the review of literature. Conclusion: Although it is associated with a high complication rate, lumboperitoneal shunt is very effective in the management of many disorders. One of the most common complications is shunt migration. While many mechanisms explaining shunt migration have been hypothesized, the most important single preventing factor for preventing shunt migration remains proper fixation of the shunt.

The Common

Abstract Colonic perforation following ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a rare complication. The common treatment is to remove the perforating catheter and replace with new one. In this case report we reported a rare case of colonic perforation following VP shunt and its anal migration. We have discussed its pathogenesis, management strategy and review of literature.

Shunt Migration

Aims: Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement is one of the commonest procedures undertaken by neurosurgeons to manage patients with hydrocephalus. Although shunt migration through bowel and exteriorization per anus is rare, it’s associated with about 15% mortality. Presentation of Case: We present a six year old boy with shunt migration through the bowel and exteriorization per anus. Discussion: The risk factors as well as management algorithm of such cases are discussed in this manuscript. Conclusion: Although this presentation is rare, early recognition and intervention is key. It is important to stratify patients as symptomatic or asymptomatic and manage them accordingly.
