Cerebrospinal fluid-ventriculoperitoneal shunts are often used in the treatment of hydrocephalus in children. Many complications can arise that may lead to shunt malfunction, including detachment of the distal limb of the shunt. A case is presented where such a complication occurred with distal migration of the detached tubing into the abdomen, which resulted in a patent subcutaneous tract through which cerebrospinal fluid could drain. The need for radiographic correlation at the time of radionuclide shuntography is stressed.
脑脊液-脑室腹腔分流术常用于治疗儿童脑积水。可能会出现许多并发症，这些并发症可能导致分流装置失灵，包括分流管远端肢体的脱离。本文介绍了这样一个病例，即发生了这种并发症，脱离的分流管远端迁移至腹部，形成了一个脑脊液可经其引流的皮下通道。强调了在放射性核素分流造影时进行影像学对照的必要性。
