Abstract:
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the most common procedure done for hydrocephalus in the paediatric population. While shunt infection and shunt malfunction remain the most common complications, shunt migration is not frequently observed. Being present in a large peritoneal cavity, theoretically, a shunt can travel to a variety of locations. Even among these, scrotal migration is quite uncommon. This case highlights the significance of keeping this possibility in mind while evaluating a case of shunt malfunction. It also discusses various nuances of surgically managing scrotal migration.
摘要:
脑室腹膜分流术(VPS)是儿科人群中最常见的脑积水手术。虽然分流器感染和分流器故障仍然是最常见的并发症,分流迁移是不经常观察到。出现在大腹膜腔中,理论上,分流管可以移动到不同的位置。即使在这些当中,阴囊迁移是相当罕见的。此案例凸显了在评估分流器故障案例时牢记这种可能性的重要性。它还讨论了手术管理阴囊迁移的各种细微差别。
