This paper presents a four-year-old Nigerian male child who developed volvulus of the small intestine three years after the successful establishment of ventriculo-peritoneal shunt for his hydrocephalus. There is only one other report in the literature of this complication. In view of the increasing use of ventriculo-peritoneal CSF diversion for hydrocephalus, it is necessary to be aware of the rare and unusual cause of an acute abdomen.
本文介绍了一名4岁的尼日利亚男童，他在成功进行脑室-腹腔分流术治疗脑积水三年后发生了小肠扭转。文献中仅有另一例关于该并发症的报道。鉴于脑室-腹腔脑脊液分流术在脑积水治疗中的应用日益增多，有必要了解这种导致急腹症的罕见且不寻常的病因。
