Abstract:
Ventriculo peritoneal (VP) shunt surgery is one of the common neurosurgical procedures employed in the management of hydrocephalus. Numerous complications related to this procedure are reported in the literature. Peritoneal catheter-related complications are the usual causes of the shunt malfunction. We report three unusual cases of peritoneal shunt catheter migration in children. Two cases are of anal and one vaginal extrusion. Possible mechanisms of migration and management strategies were discussed.
