Summary
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension treatment with ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) can lead to complications. This case highlights potential thalamic pathway disruption causing sensory loss after VPS placement.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Neurology
- Ophthalmology
Background:
- Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is often treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) placement.
- VPS insertion has a reported 25% complication rate requiring shunt revision within one year.
