Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting

Abdominal complications related to ventriculoperitoneal shunting are an entity described in the literature. Among these is evisceration. In this article we present a case of evisceration in a 5-month-old child, six days after DVP placement. We will discuss the probable etiology and prevention of such a complication.

A Prospective Study

Background: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt is one of the most commonly performed neurosurgical procedure, both on the elective and emergency basis. However this procedure is dreaded because of complications. There is lack of prospective studies on complications of shunt procedure. In this study, the indications for shunt, the types used and complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunts were studied. Methods: This was a prospective study carried out in the national neurosurgical referral centre, Bir hospital, Kathmandu from April 2004 to March 2005. Results: There were 109 ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedures during the study period. Among them 60 consecutive patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled for the study. There were 43 male and 17 female patients, with age ranging from 4 months to 75 years. Fourteen patients (23.3%) developed complications which included shunt block, shunt infection, over drainage and shunt extrusion. Conclusion: About one fourth all patients who underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery developed complications. Shunt block and infections were the major complications.

✓ The authors describe a case of massive pneumocephalus following ventriculoperitoneal shunting for hydrocephalus. After multiple diagnostic and surgical procedures, congenital defects in the tegmen tympani of both temporal bones were identified as the sources for entry of air. A functioning shunt intermittently established negative intracranial pressure and allowed ingress of air through these abnormalities; when the shunt was occluded, air did not enter the skull, and there was no cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Repair of these middle ear defects prevented further recurrence of pneumocephalus.

✓ Volvulus with intestinal obstruction is an unusual complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting. It was the most serious of the few complications experienced in 56 cases of intraperitoneal Silastic catheter implantation and probably represented reaction to the peritoneal incision rather than reaction of the tissue to Silastic.
