Abstract
We describe extrusion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter through the anus occurring in an eight month child with hydrocephalus. This is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Perforation of the bowel by the peritoneal catheter of the shunt occurred without peritonitis or retrograde infection of the shunt system. Pathogenesis and the literature is reviewed.Entities:
