The insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is considered the standard of care for several forms of hydrocephalus. Abdominal complications are most common with this procedure, comprising up to 30% of all shunt-related problems. Conversely, visceral perforation or extrusion of the shunt apparatus is rare. Herein we report a rare complication of VPS insertion in which the peritoneal catheter was spontaneously extruded through the urethra of a patient with a neobladder. We further discuss the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of this condition.
脑室腹腔分流术(VPS)的置入被认为是多种形式脑积水的标准治疗方法。腹部并发症是该手术最常见的情况,占所有分流相关问题的30%。相反,分流装置的内脏穿孔或挤出很少见。在此,我们报告一例VPS置入的罕见并发症,即腹膜导管自发地从一名新膀胱患者的尿道中挤出。我们进一步讨论了这种情况的发病机制、诊断和治疗。
