Ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection is a serious clinical problem for which implant removal is considered the treatment of choice. However, surgery is sometimes associated with considerable risks that may outweigh the benefits. Presented here is a case of ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection treated successfully with linezolid without implant removal. This case shows linezolid could be a therapeutic alternative when surgery is contraindicated.
