CASE REPORT: The authors report a case of a child who sustained blunt injury to a shunt valve during a basketball game, which resulted in an intracranial hemorrhage. CONCLUSION: This occurrence, although rare, reinforces the recommendation for protective headgear when patients with shunts engage in activities that may result in direct impact to the head.
