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.

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.

Iol Dislocation

Intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation is a rare complication of cataract extraction requiring prompt surgery. This case report aims to raise awareness of such cases and the importance of post-surgery follow-up. A 58-year-old female patient was found with anterior IOL dislocation a week after phacoemulsification surgery in her right eye. Visual acuity of the right eye was 1/60 with ciliary injection and IOL dislocation to the anterior chamber of the right eye. The patient underwent surgery of the right eye and the IOL haptic was found to be broken. In this case report, the factors affecting IOL dislocation are axis length, broken IOL haptic, and patient activity that increased intraocular pressure. Cataract extraction surgery, although common, needs to be conducted carefully, and it is important for ophthalmologists and general practitioners to detect this condition, especially in rural areas where facilities are limited, as IOL dislocation could occur and requires immediate treatment to achieve a better result.

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.

IntroductionComputer tomography colonoscopy (CTC) is an increasingly prevalent procedure for the investigation of colorectal symptoms, or as a component of colorectal cancer screening.  It is considered a low risk procedure, however colonic perforation is a recognized significant complication.Case ReportWe report the case of an 81-year-old female patient who underwent CTC after failed optical colonoscopy as part of routine colorectal cancer screening.  Perforation of the rectum with surrounding pararectal air was confirmed on CTC.  The patient had minimal symptoms and was treated successful non-operatively with bowel rest and antibiotics.ConclusionPerforation sustained during CTC is an uncommon complication.  The incidence of perforation during CTC is still lower than that during optical colonoscopy.  In the absence of significant abdominal signs and symptoms, this rare complication may be successfully managed non-operatively.

The authors describe a rare complication of ureteral stenting is the case study of a patient admitted to the hospital for congestion in the outlet system of both kidneys due to external ureteral compression by tumorous mass in the retroperitoneum. Histology confirmed the B-lymphoma of the retroperitoneum as a cause of the patient‘s problems. The ureteral stent was perforated in the course of inserting the stent into the ureter and the end of the splint was introduced into the inferior vena cava. The patient was asymptomatic, and this complication was detected as late as on day 12 on the follow-up CT scan. Stent extraction was without complications and without bleeding.

Urinary lithiasis in transplanted kidney is a relatively uncommon complication. However, it may lead to a significant morbidity and loss of renal function. The report presents the case of a 32-year-old male renal-transplant recipient, with a stone in renal pelvis who was treated successfully by tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The patient is currently stone free with no complication. This article also reviews in brief the treatment of this rare complication. Reviewing the literature showed that PCNL is safe and feasible procedure for treating nephrolithiasis in a transplanted kidney.

Background: Hydrocephalus a neurological disorder common in both children and adults. VP shunt placement is considered the mainstay of management. The aim was to study complications of VP Shunt and factors influencing shunt malfunction and prognosis.Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Surgery, Gandhi Medical College Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India between January 2013 to August 2016 and included all patients of hydrocephalus who underwent VP shunt surgery. We performed a retrospective and prospective data review which was subjected to statistical analysis, frequency determination, determination of mean and standard deviation, Pearson’s Chi-square test for studying associations between variables.Results: A total of 198 patients were studied. The predominant etiologies being congenital hydrocephalus, aqueduct stenosis, spina bifida/MMC, intracranial space occupying lesions and tuberculous meningitis. The incidence of overall shunt complications was 28.8%, incidence of shunt revision was 21.2%, shunt blockade 7.6%), shunt migration 5.05%, shunt infection 4.5%, and shunt malfunction due to other causes 8.6%. The mortality rate was 20.2%.  Factors associated with increased shunt complications included infective etiology of the hydrocephalus and CSF culture positivity in preoperative period.Conclusions: Infective and traumatic causes of hydrocephalus are more likely to be associated with complications like infection and obstruction. Shunt migration is seen in paediatric patients.
