Transcutaneous ventriculo-peritoneal shunt catheter extrusion with silent bowel perforation following digestive surgery: a case report

Résumé

This case report provides an account of transcutaneous ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt extrusion with silent bowel perforation occurring 2 years post digestive surgery. A 22-year-old man treated since childhood for post-infectious hydrocephalus was referred to our neurosurgery department for an inflammatory wound to the right hypochondrium caused by an abandoned calcified VP shunt. This VP shunt was surgically removed without complications. The perforated bowel required no direct repair. Progress is favorable at 1 year follow-up.
