Abstract

Insights

Ventriculoperitoneal shunts can fracture and migrate. In a rare case, a fractured shunt coiled in the scrotum, mimicking scrotal swelling and requiring surgical removal.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Urology

Background:

  • Ventriculoperitoneal shunts are common for hydrocephalus.
  • Shunt complications include disconnection and migration.
  • Intra-abdominal migration is a known but rare complication.

Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction

Intracranial hypertension is a sustained elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) above 22 mm Hg. In supine adults, normal ICP is ~7–15 mm Hg.The rigid, nonexpandable cranium contains three components—brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—that total ~1,700 mL in a typical adult: 1,400 mL brain (~80%), 150 mL blood (~10%), and 150 mL CSF (~10%). According to the Monro–Kellie doctrine, total intracranial volume is effectively fixed. When one component expands, CSF and venous blood...
