    A new ventriculoamniotic shunt procedure for fetal hydrocephalus shows promise but carries risks. This case highlights a rare Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, emphasizing the need for maternal monitoring and timely delivery.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Science
    • Obstetrics
    • Neonatal Care

    Background:

    • Ventriculoamniotic shunts are emerging for fetal hydrocephalus treatment.
    • Early outcomes suggest potential fetal benefits with rare complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the first case of Neisseria gonorrhoeae CNS infection linked to a ventriculoamniotic shunt.
    • To discuss implications for managing this rare neonatal complication.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of a neonate with ventriculoamniotic shunt infection.
    • Review of clinical experience and literature.

    Main Results:

    • First documented case of Neisseria gonorrhoeae central nervous system infection in a neonate with a ventriculoamniotic shunt.

  • Third reported case of this infection in a neonate.

    • Conclusions:

    • Maternal monitoring for cervical pathogens is crucial.
    • Delivery before amniorrhexis is recommended.
    • Shunt and ventricular fluid cultures at delivery are advised to detect infection.
