Thoracic complications are rare after shunt placement for drainage of cerebrospinal fluid to treat hydrocephalus. We report a case of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter that migrated into the lung by passing through the liver and the diaphragm. To our knowledge, there is no previously published report of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt that has migrated into the lung by a transdiaphragmatic and transhepatic route.
在通过脑脊液分流术治疗脑积水而进行分流管置入后，胸部并发症较为罕见。我们报告了一例脑室腹腔分流管经肝脏和膈肌进入肺部的病例。据我们所知，此前尚无关于脑室腹腔分流管经膈肌和肝脏途径进入肺部的报道。
