Abstract

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt proximal tip disconnection is rarely seen as a shunt complication. Shunt dysfunction and hydrocephaly can develop due to this disconnection. Presented here is a case of a disconnection of the ventricular catheter from the shunt valve, which passed between both lateral ventricles by free floating in the brain CT. The patient was operated on for hydrocephaly. The dysfunctional shunt valve and peritoneal catheter were removed and a new VP shunt system was implemented. Although some publications report that the ventricular catheter can be disconnected from the shunt valve, can adhere to the intraventricular structures, and can be a source of infection, no studies similar to the current case were found in the literature reporting a free floating ventricular catheter between the lateral ventricles.

Özet

Ventriküloperitoneal (VP) şant proksimal ucunun ayrılması bir şant komplikasyonu olarak nadir görülür. Bu ayrılma sonucunda şant ayrılmas ve hidrosefali gelişebilir. Burada ventriküler kateterin şant valfinden ayrıldığı ve her iki lateral ventrikül arasından geçip beyin BT filmlerind serbest yüzer durumda görüldüğü bir olgu sunuyoruz. Hasta hidrosefali için ameliyat olmuştu. Disfonksiyonel şant valfı ve peritoneal katete çıkarılıp yeni bir VP şant sistemi yerleştirildi. Bazı yayınlar ventriküler kateterin şant valfinden ayrılıp intraventriküler yapılara tutunabileceği v bir enfeksiyon kaynağı olabileceğini belirtse de literatürde lateral ventriküller arasında serbest yüzen bir ventriküler kateter bildirecek şekild mevcut olguyu benzer olan bir olgu saptanmadı.
