The initial cysto-peritoneal shunt surgery rapidly alleviated symptoms, including headaches, vomiting, and left cranial nerve palsy, stabilizing the clinical condition. However, between 20 and 24 months after the initial shunt surgery, the patient developed intermittent shunt dysfunction, experiencing recurrent headaches and vomiting, during which the programmable valve's pressure setting had become fixed and was no longer adjustable. A second surgery was then performed to remove the existing shunt, excise the fibrotic cyst wall, fenestrate the basal cistern, and establish temporary subdural drainage. During this operation, extensive fibrosis of the cyst wall in the subdural space was discovered, forming a tough and hypertrophic fibrotic membrane that encased the cerebral hemispheres. This fibrotic material nearly filled the shunt valve chamber, causing valve obstruction and immobilizing the pressure control rod, resulting in pressure adjustment dysfunction.
