Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts significantly improve the quality of life in patients with acute hydrocephalus. However, infections associated with a CSF shunt constitute a severe complication with high morbidity and mortality. We describe a case of CFS shunt infection cured with intrathecal colistin.
