Abstract
We report on the dislocation of the tip of a lumbo-peritoneal shunting catheter into the cerebral parenchyma 10 months after insertion. The progressive migration towards the deep structures of the brain, once the catheter had left the peritoneal cavity, might have been caused by CSF-flow. Such hypothesis is supported by modern MRI technology visualizing CSF-flow in a spino-cerebral direction.Entities:
