The authors report an unusual case of distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter into the pulmonary vasculature. The migrated catheter was extracted through a thoracotomy and venotomy, with the cooperation of Neuroneurosurgery and Cardiovascular team. This rare complication after ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery should be paid enough attention. There were 2 possible mechanisms. To solve the problem, multidisciplinary cooperation should be applied.
