Ventriculoperitoneal shunt operations are the most common pediatric neurosurgical procedures in the treatment of hydrocephalus. However, ventricular shunting is frequently associated with a wide variety of complications. Umbilical perforation is an extremely rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunts.
We present an infant with umbilical abscess, meningitis, and umbilical perforation of the distal end of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt, which was placed for congenital hydrocephalus.
脑室腹腔分流术是治疗脑积水最常见的小儿神经外科手术。然而,脑室分流术常伴有多种并发症。脐部穿孔是脑室腹腔分流术极为罕见的并发症。
我们报告一例患有脐部脓肿、脑膜炎及脑室腹腔分流管远端脐部穿孔的婴儿,该分流管是因先天性脑积水而置入的。
