Malfunction of ventriculoperitoneal shunts during pregnancy.

G Kleinman, W Sutherling, M Martinez, K Tabsh.   

Abstract

Two cases of successful pregnancy in patients with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt are presented. Both patients experienced shunt malfunction early in the third trimester which was apparently related to anatomic changes in the abdomen associated with pregnancy. All symptoms resolved with conservative management. The obstetric and neurologic management of such patients is discussed.
