Mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysm: an unusual complication of ventriculo-atrial shunt.

Elliot T. Gelfand1, John C. Callaghan.   

Abstract

A 23-year-old man with a previous ventriculo-atrial shunt for a pinealoma developed a febrile illness and heart murmur. The condition was thought to be caused by subacute bacterial endocarditis. Further investigation, however, revealed a mycotic left pulmonary artery aneurysm, which was treated by means of a left pneumonectomy with cardiopulmonary bypass. Such an aneurysm represents yet another complication of ventriculo-atrial shunting for hydrocephalus.
