The cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst is an uncommon complication of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt used to treat hydrocephalus. It manifests as the accumulation of fluid around the distal end of the catheter, surrounded by a fibrous wall lacking epithelium. Its exact origin remains uncertain. We present here a case of a large peritoneal pseudocyst, filling the abdominal cavity and exerting pressure on adjacent structures. Management involved external drainage followed by the implantation of a new ventriculo-atrial shunt.
脑脊液假性囊肿是用于治疗脑积水的脑室腹腔分流术的一种罕见并发症。它表现为导管远端周围液体的积聚，周围是缺乏上皮的纤维壁。其确切起源尚不确定。我们在此报告一例巨大的腹腔假性囊肿病例，该囊肿充满腹腔并对相邻结构施加压力。治疗方法包括外部引流，随后植入新的脑室心房分流管。
