Introduction. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a common neurosurgical procedure, for the definitive management of hydrocephalus. Shunt failures may occur due to various causes but are usually due to infections in adults and catheter occlusion in the paediatric population. Case Report. The 13-year-old girl presented with a right lateral neck swelling. In detailed history, she was found to be an old case of ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The clinical examination and radiological investigation revealed proximal dislodgment of the stent from the cranium, causing persistent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak and pseudocyst formation in the neck. Conclusion. The case highlights CSF pseudocyst formation as a rare differential for lateral neck swellings.

Pseudocyst Formation

A ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a major surgical modality to relieve intracranial pressure in patients with hydrocephalus. Shunt obstruction and infection are the most common complications following shunt surgery whereas VP shunt-associated pseudocyst formation is a rare complication. These are the cystic space without the epithelial lining, filled with fluid around the distal tip of the catheter. In this case report, we present you a 47-year-old male who underwent VP shunt placed a year back presented with huge abdominal swelling, headache, and weight loss. CT scan of the abdomen showed abdominal pseudocyst with the peritoneal end of the shunt within the cyst. Though the exact mechanism is not known, abdominal adhesion, multiple revisions, obstruction, or dislodgement are thought to predispose to the formation of a pseudocyst.

Abstract Colonic perforation following ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a rare complication. The common treatment is to remove the perforating catheter and replace with new one. In this case report we reported a rare case of colonic perforation following VP shunt and its anal migration. We have discussed its pathogenesis, management strategy and review of literature.

Abstract Background Hypertriglyceridemia is a common and well characterized physiological phenomenon in pregnancy. Rarely does it complicate the pregnancy causing acute pancreatitis (APIP).  The majority of APIP cases arise secondary to gallstones. Hyperlipidaemia induced pancreatitis is a rarer cause with relatively worse outcomes with increased incidences of preterm delivery and pseudocyst formation. Case Report A 38-years-old woman at 29 weeks gestation presented with epigastric pain. The initial investigations revealed raised inflammatory markers, elevated amylase and hypertriglyceridemia. A diagnosis of APIP was made, prompting transfer to ITU. Foetal compromise necessitated an emergency Caesarean delivery. Post-partum, her clinical condition improved with NG feeding, bezafibrates and IV antibiotics. Her baby was transferred to a nearby tertiary neonatal unit with no immediate complications. Discussion Hyperlipidemia induced APIP requires intensive treatment. Various medical treatments for hypertriglyceridemia, such as fibrates and insulin infusions, have been described. Plasmapheresis in severe cases may benefit reducing the triglycerides level. Considering maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality, early diagnosis and multidisciplinary input is required to treat and reduce complications. Conclusion APIP is a serious and rare complication of pregnancy. The current lack of consensus on treatment of APIP warrants further inquiry, to minimise poor neonatal outcomes.  The merits of routine screening for gestational hypertriglyceridemia are yet to be elucidated; the morbidity associated with APIP, coupled with its rising incidence justify a targeted screening programme. Keywords Pancreatitis, Pregnancy, Hypertriglyceridemia.
