Colon perforation is a rare and serious complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The authors report a 7-month-old male infant with vomiting and watery diarrhea after colon perforation by a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. A minimal laparotomy incision was performed accurately where preoperative colonoscopy had detected the penetration site of shunting tube in the left colon.
