Unilateral amaurosis in a hydrocephalic child with an obstructed shunt. Case report.

J A Calogero1, E Alexander.   

Abstract

A 7-year-old child with treated hydrocephalus became blind in the left eye as a consequence of malfunction of the ventriculoatrial shunt. This complication probably could have been avoided by elective revision of the shunt with growth.
