Abstract

Ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) is the standard treatment of hydrocephalus in children but can be followed by various intraabdominal complications. Formation of a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pseudocyst is a rare VPS complication. A case of a non-infected CSF pseudocyst complicated with acute appendicitis is presented.
