Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) for hydrocephalus is associated with various complications. Torticollis due to shunt tract fibrosis is a rare complication of VPS that occurs years later after the initial operation. However, shunt track fibrosis that progressed to large neck mass, mimicking sternocleidomastoid tumour and causing torticollis is a previously unreported complication. This led to the restriction of neck movement and hemifacial hypoplasia. Complete excision of the mass restored neck movement.
脑室腹腔分流术（VPS）治疗脑积水可并发多种并发症。因分流管通路纤维化导致的斜颈是 VPS 的一种罕见并发症，通常在初次手术后数年发生。然而，分流管通路纤维化进展为巨大的颈部肿块，类似胸锁乳突肌肿瘤并导致斜颈，是一种以前未报道过的并发症。这导致了颈部运动受限和半侧颜面发育不良。肿块的完全切除恢复了颈部运动。
