Complications following ventriculo-peritoneal and subsequent ventriculo-atrial shunting resolved by third ventriculostomy.

Ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt is the most common form of treatment for hydrocephalus and rejection to the shunt hardware is very rare. Also, in ventricul-atrial (VA) shunt thrombi and embolism are possible but rare complications. For the first time, we present a case of rejection and thrombosis following VP and VA shunt in the same patient.
