Liver abscess: complication of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

R A Fisher, G Rodziewicz, W R Selman, R J White, S D Vibhakar.   

Abstract

Liver abscess is a previously unreported complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting. We present such a case, which was diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) and managed by CT-guided percutaneous catheter drainage of the liver abscess, appropriate antibiotics, and shunt externalization.
