An Unusual Mechanism of Delayed Intracerebral Hemorrhage After Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2012, Vol 29, Issue 2
Abstract
We present a case of delayed intracerebral hemorrhage that developed seven years after initial ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery. A seven-year-old boy was admitted to emergency when he experienced sudden headache and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) scanning showed an intracerebral hemorrhage around the ventricular catheter that cannot be explained by known predisposing factors such as head trauma, coexisting bleeding disorder, occult vascular malformation, and intratumoral hemorrhage. The presumed mechanism in this case is that the ventricular catheter caused contusion of cerebral tissue because the shunt tube at the neck had stretched during the growing up of the child.
