Pseudocyst Formation

AbstractVentriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is a well-known procedure in the neurosurgical field. However, it has high complication and reoperation rates. Abdominal pseudocyst (APC) formation is a rare complication of VPS with reports in the literature varying from 4 to 10%. In this article, we report a simple and effective technique, with no additional cost, to avoid APC formation by making small multiple slits along the length of the peritoneal catheter.

Ventriculoperitoneal shunts are associated with multiple complications. Among them are disconnection and migration of the tubing into the peritoneal cavity. Here we describe a case of a fractured ventriculoperitoneal shunt which migrated and coiled in the scrotum, masquerading as a scrotal swelling. Removal of the shunt via a scrotal incision was performed concomitantly with repair of the hernia sac.

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.

AbstractCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) peritoneal pseudocysts are a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunts. They can manifest with symptoms of shunt malfunction or, more commonly, vague symptoms of abdominal discomfort such as pain or distention. The imaging features of peritoneal CSF pseudocysts may be nonspecific. In this case, we report a peritoneal CSF pseudocyst, which was initially mistaken for a complex hepatic cyst on both ultrasonography and MRI. The correct diagnosis was confirmed with a shuntogram and CT of the abdomen.

High Index Of Suspicion

Pseudocyst is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) seen in 1–4% of pediatric age group and it’s usually managed by surgical excision. We report a new case of cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst complicating VPS that was managed by percutaneous aspiration resulting in a successful outcome. A 2-year-old male presented with fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Abdomen examination showed palpable tender epigastric mass. Ultrasound examination and CT scan of the abdomen demonstrated localized epigastric fluid collection. He was managed with IV antibiotics, shunt externalization, and percutaneous aspiration of the pseudocyst. On follow-up examination, no similar symptoms were recorded. Percutaneous aspiration is a more conservative and effective approach in managing VPS pseudocyst in the new era of interventional radiology. Although the occurrence of abdominal pseudocyst is rare, a high index of suspicion should be maintained to avoid the risk of ascending infection.

Abstract. Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement is one of the most commonly performed procedures in neurosurgery. One rare complication is the formation of an abdominal pseudocyst, which can cause shunt malfunction. Keyword: Abdominal Pseudocyst, Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt
