Abstract

Pneumothorax is a very rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting in children. We report a case of an iatrogenic bilateral tension pneumothorax during the placement of a subdural-peritoneal shunting. After the placement of peritoneal catheter, oxygen saturation of the patient quickly decreased, hypotension and bradycardia occurred. Intraoperative x-rays showed the pneumothorax. A thoracostomy tube was inserted and attached to an underwater seal. Vital signs improved in a short time period. The radiological improvement had been achieved in four days. Early diagnosis and prompt intervention are life-saving for this complication. To avoid this complication, the tip of the shunt tunneler should be always palpable during the placement of the peritoneal catheter, especially in children's shunt surgery.

Özet

Pnömotoraks çocuklarda ventriküloperitoneal şantın çok nadir bir komplikasyonudur. Biz subdural-peritoneal şant takılması sırasında meydana gelen bilateral basınçlı pnömotoraks olgusunu rapor ettik. Ameliyat sırasında, peritoneal kataterin takılmasından hemen sonra hastada oksijen satürasyonu hızla düştü, hipotansiyon ve bradikardi gelişti. Çekilen intraoperatif röntgen hastada bilateral pnömotoraks geliştiğini gösterdi. Hemen hastaya torakostomi tübü yerleştirildi ve bu tüp sualtı drenajına bağlandı. Vital bulgular hızla düzeldi. Hastada radyolojik düzelme 4. günde meydana geldi. Erken tanı ve çabuk girişim bu komplikasyonda hayat kurtarıcı rol oynar. Bu nadir komplikasyonun önlenebilmesi için şant cerrahisinde peritoneal katater yerleştirilmesi sırasında, özellikle çocuklarda, tünel açıcının ucu her zaman palpabl (ele gelebilir) olmalıdır.
