Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting remains invaluable in the management of hydrocephalus. It is a common procedure that can be complicated by shunt malfunction due to infection, blockage and disconnection. Spontaneous peritoneal catheter knot formation causing CSF flow obstruction is a rare phenomenon. We present a case of a 12years old boy with spontaneous knot formation in the peritoneal catheter causing VP shunt obstruction and hydrocephalus.
脑室腹腔(VP)分流术在脑积水的治疗中仍然具有重要价值。这是一种常见的手术,但可能会因感染、堵塞和断开连接等原因导致分流器故障而出现并发症。自发性腹膜导管打结导致脑脊液流动受阻是一种罕见的现象。我们报告一例12岁男孩,其腹膜导管出现自发性打结,导致VP分流术梗阻和脑积水。
