    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Ventricular-peritoneal shunting is a common neurosurgical procedure to manage hydrocephalus.
    • Complications, though rare, require prompt diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • This report details two cases of cerebrospinal fluid ascites following ventricular-peritoneal shunting.
    • One case was newly identified, and the other was previously documented.

    Findings:

    • Cerebrospinal fluid ascites is a potential complication of ventricular-peritoneal shunting.
    • Ultrasonic investigation (ultrasound) proved highly effective in diagnosing this condition.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid ascites is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Ultrasound offers a non-invasive and helpful method for identifying this complication.
