Case report: the unexpected culprit for multiple shunt revisions.

Diana Fitzrol1, Badrisyah Idris2.   

Abstract

Silicone allergy in patients with ventricular shunts is uncommon hence easily missed. However, there are clinical features that could assist in identifying and diagnosing this condition. We discuss a case where a patient with a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt presented to us with features suggestive of silicone allergy.
