ANAL EXPOSURE OF VENTRICULOPERITONEAL SHUNT AN UNUSUAL COMPLICATION-CASE REPORT
Journal Title: WORLD JOURNAL PHARMACY AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Bowel perforation and spontaneous extrusion of the lower end of the tube through the anal opening is a rare and unusual complication of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt. We report a case of a fourteen years old female child who presented to the emergency department when her mother noticed the shunt catheter protruding from her anus two years after shunt placement. The shunt tube was removed and the patient underwent repeat ventreculoperitoneal shunting on the same side immediately after previous shunt removal. Removal of the catheter by less invasive method is advisable in the absence of infection.
