Multiple shunt failure is a challenge in pediatric neurosurgery practice and one of the most feared complications of hydrocephalus. Objective: To demonstrate that laparoscopic procedures for distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt failure may be an effective option for patients who underwent multiple revisions due to repetitive manipulation of the peritoneal cavity, abdominal pseudocyst, peritonitis or other situations leading to a “non reliable” peritoneum. Method: From March 2012 to February 2013, the authors reviewed retrospectively the charts of six patients born and followed up at our institution, which presented with previous intra-peritoneal complications and underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt revision assisted by video laparoscopy. Results: After a mean follow-up period of nine months, all patients are well and no further shunt failure was identified so far. Conclusion: Laparoscopy assisted shunt revision in children may be, in selected cases, an effective option for patients with multiple peritoneal complications due to ventriculo-peritoneal shunting.

Pseudocyst Formation

A ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a major surgical modality to relieve intracranial pressure in patients with hydrocephalus. Shunt obstruction and infection are the most common complications following shunt surgery whereas VP shunt-associated pseudocyst formation is a rare complication. These are the cystic space without the epithelial lining, filled with fluid around the distal tip of the catheter. In this case report, we present you a 47-year-old male who underwent VP shunt placed a year back presented with huge abdominal swelling, headache, and weight loss. CT scan of the abdomen showed abdominal pseudocyst with the peritoneal end of the shunt within the cyst. Though the exact mechanism is not known, abdominal adhesion, multiple revisions, obstruction, or dislodgement are thought to predispose to the formation of a pseudocyst.

High Index Of Suspicion

Pseudocyst is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) seen in 1–4% of pediatric age group and it’s usually managed by surgical excision. We report a new case of cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst complicating VPS that was managed by percutaneous aspiration resulting in a successful outcome. A 2-year-old male presented with fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Abdomen examination showed palpable tender epigastric mass. Ultrasound examination and CT scan of the abdomen demonstrated localized epigastric fluid collection. He was managed with IV antibiotics, shunt externalization, and percutaneous aspiration of the pseudocyst. On follow-up examination, no similar symptoms were recorded. Percutaneous aspiration is a more conservative and effective approach in managing VPS pseudocyst in the new era of interventional radiology. Although the occurrence of abdominal pseudocyst is rare, a high index of suspicion should be maintained to avoid the risk of ascending infection.

Abstract. Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement is one of the most commonly performed procedures in neurosurgery. One rare complication is the formation of an abdominal pseudocyst, which can cause shunt malfunction. Keyword: Abdominal Pseudocyst, Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

Invasive Intervention

Fetal ovarian cysts are common congenital lesions encountered in the neonatal population. These cysts are typically benign and rarely require any invasive intervention. Abdominal pseudocyst formation as a result of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a relatively infrequent occurrence and is similarly an uncommon cause of shunt failure. The authors present the case of a 4-month-old girl with shunted hydrocephalus who presented with shunt failure from a suspected abdominal pseudocyst that was found to be a fetal ovarian cyst.
