Abstract

This case emphasizes the safety of laparoscopy in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts. Previously published reports have suggested possible risks associated with laparoscopy in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunt. We report a case of a 17-year-old male with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt inserted 6 years ago to manage hydrocephalus that developed after surgery for medulloblastoma. The patient presented with a 5-day history of abdominal pain. He was diagnosed as having acute biliary pancreatitis. We performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the ventriculoperitoneal shunt in place. The patient had an uneventful recovery with no shunt-related complications.

本病例强调了腹腔镜检查在脑室腹膜分流患者中的安全性。先前发表的报告表明，在脑室-腹腔分流术患者中，腹腔镜检查可能存在风险。我们报告了一例17岁男性，6年前插入脑室-腹腔分流术治疗髓母细胞瘤手术后出现的脑积水。患者有5天的腹痛病史。他被诊断为患有急性胆源性胰腺炎。我们进行了腹腔镜胆囊切除术，脑室-腹腔分流术到位。患者恢复顺利，无分流相关并发症。
