The authors describe an extremely unusual case of a giant hemicranial subdural empyema occurring nine years after insertion of a venticuloperitoneal shunt. Though the empyema was evacuated, the child suffered significant morbidity and remained hemiparetic. The present case highlights the delayed morbidity following a ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion and the need of prolonged and regular follow up in children who have undergone this procedure.
作者描述了一例极为罕见的病例，一名巨大的半侧颅骨硬膜下积脓发生在脑室腹腔分流术植入九年之后。尽管积脓已被引流，但患儿仍出现了严重的并发症，并且一直存在偏瘫。本病例凸显了脑室腹腔分流术植入后出现的延迟性并发症，以及对接受该手术的儿童进行长期定期随访的必要性。
