Atypical Presentations of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Malfunction: A Case Series

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt complications can occur in patients with hydrocephalus. Shunt complications such as shunt malformations, intracranial hypotension, non-compliant ventricles, and slit-like ventricles can be challenging to diagnose and manage. These patients with atypical symptoms on presentation who had a clinical radiological dissociation give us insight into the need to identify a diagnostic approach and management methods of various shunt complications using various investigations and meticulous clinical assessment.

Abstract

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt complications can occur in patients with hydrocephalus. Shunt complications such as shunt malformations, intracranial hypotension, non-compliant ventricles, and slit-like ventricles can be challenging to diagnose and manage. These patients with atypical symptoms on presentation who had a clinical radiological dissociation give us insight into the need to identify a diagnostic approach and management methods of various shunt complications using various investigations and meticulous clinical assessment.
