Abstract
A case of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt pseudocyst in a 9-year-old girl diagnosed using computed tomography is reported. Two attempts at relocation of the shunt failed to prevent reaccumulation of cerebrospinal fluid. A ventriculoatrial shunt was then performed with a successful outcome. Such pseudocysts should be part of the differential diagnosis of abdominal processes in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts. If relocation of the shunt outside the pseudocyst is unsuccessful, a ventriculoatrial shunt is generally indicated.Entities:
