A rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting is presented. In this case, a moderate-sized intracerebral hemorrhage (3 to 5 cm in maximal diameter) occurred 1 week after operation for idiopathic hydrocephalus in a 43-year-old woman. The patient recovered fully without operative intervention. No other case of delayed intracerebral hemorrhage after a ventricular shunting procedure was found in a review of the literature. The presumed mechanism in the present case is delayed erosion of a cerebral blood vessel by the ventricular catheter.
本文报告了一例脑室腹腔分流术罕见的并发症。该病例为一名43岁女性，因特发性脑积水接受手术后1周发生中等大小的脑出血（最大直径3至5厘米）。患者未经手术干预完全康复。回顾文献未发现其他脑室分流术后迟发性脑出血的病例。本例推测机制为脑室导管对脑血管的迟发性侵蚀。
