Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt migration causing an acute scrotum: a case report of Doppler evaluation.

D L Bristow, W L Buntain, H L James.   

Abstract

The diagnosis and management of a scrotal complication of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt simulating testicular torsion in a neonate is outlined. Radiologic evaluation determined the location of the shunt tube and adequate blood flow to the testicle was confirmed by use of the Doppler stethoscope, allowing for definitive therapy by extraperitoneal shortening of the shunt catheter. Surgery to the scrotum was, thus, avoided.
