Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is mostly used in the treatment of hydrocephalus and many complications have been reported with this method. Abdominal Pseudocyst (APC) are relatively uncommon but important complications in patients with VP shunts. We herein report the case of a 9-year-old boy with VP shunt who presented with abdominal distension, abdominal pain, malaise, and decrease of appetite. Abdominal pelvic computed tomography confirmed a diagnosis of APC. Laparotomy was done and VP shunt was placed into the other side of peritoneal cavity again. Also here, etiology, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of APC were reviewed.
脑室腹腔（VP）分流术主要用于治疗脑积水，并且已有许多关于该方法并发症的报道。腹腔假性囊肿（APC）是VP分流术患者相对少见但重要的并发症。我们在此报告一例9岁行VP分流术的男孩，其出现腹胀、腹痛、不适和食欲减退。腹部盆腔计算机断层扫描确诊为APC。进行了剖腹手术，并将VP分流管再次置入腹腔的另一侧。在此，我们还对APC的病因、表现、诊断和治疗进行了综述。
