We report the case of a 22-year-old man with a craniopharyngioma, who developed ascites following a ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedure for hydrocephalus. The ascites was resolved with diversion of the distal catheter into the right atrium. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt can cause ascites, even without neurological symptoms suggestive of shunt malfunction.
我们报告了一例22岁患有颅咽管瘤的男性患者,该患者在因脑积水进行脑室腹腔分流术后出现腹水。通过将远端导管改道至右心房,腹水得以消退。即使没有提示分流故障的神经症状,脑室腹腔分流也可能导致腹水。
