Spontaneous extrusion of peritoneal catheter of ventriculoperitoneal shunt through the intact abdominal wall: Report of two cases
A 7-month-old female baby was admitted to Neurosurgical Department of S.C.B. Medical College and Hospital with the VPS catheter's distal end protruding through the intact abdominal wall []. Three months earlier, she had undergone an installation of a medium-pressure VPS for posttraumatic hydrocephalus. One week prior to her current admission, her mother noticed a painless, small blister, and erythema on the upper abdominal wall, which eroded and gave way to protrude a part of the peritoneal catheter.
