Shunt-related brain abscess and ascending shunt infection.

D J Gower1, D Horton, M Pollay.   

Abstract

We report the fifth case of shunt-related brain abscess. Two prior cases have been associated with colonic perforation and infection with gram-negative enteric organisms. These cases strongly suggest that ascending shunt infection is possible despite bulk cerebrospinal fluid flow in the opposite direction and add to our understanding of shunt infections.
