Ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction: presentation of 2 case reports and review of the literature.
Objective: This study was carried out to focus on two unusual complications due to ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPSs) performed in hydrocephalic children. Management of these patients with a special emphasis on the foregoing literature concerning the migration of shunt catheter into the scrotum is reviewed and discussed. Methods: A retrospective clinical study performed in patients with complications of VPS causing acute abdomino-scrotal conditions in two different centers between 20022012 is presented in the current study. Results: There are two pediatric cases with diagnosis of hydrocephaly and complications of VPS during the study period. Age, mode of presentation, results of treatment were studied. Apart from physical examination and radiological investigations, diagnosis of VPS complication was confirmed during surgical procedures in our patients. Conclusion: Complications of intestinal obstruction and protrusion of the VPS catheter into the scrotum are rarely seen in hydrocephalic children with VPS. Early identification and management of these complications is recommended for that they may cause lifethreatening acute abdomino-scrotal conditions.
