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.
