Abstract
Ventriculoperitoneal shunts are one of the commonest surgical procedures performed in neurosurgery. Complications of this procedure include mechanical complications and nonmechanical ones. The most distressing mechanical complication is shunt migration, and often when this occurs, it becomes difficult to work out the mechanism and the management protocol. This review is designed to answer questions regarding management details of this unfortunate complication, and also seeks to identify the causes.Keywords: Shunt displacements; shunt complications; ventriculoperitoneal shunt
