  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 47-year-old male presented with headache 3 years after V-P shunt procedure. Initial CT revealedpneumocephalus, and a shunt tube migration into the sigmoid colon was detected by contrast medium in-jection into the shunt tube. The patient's condition was complicated with bacterial meningitis, and the in-fected shunt tube was removed. After chemotherapy, the V-P shunt was reinstalled. This is the first caseshowing pneumocephalus occurring as an initial symptom of bowel perforation by a V-P shunt tube. Inthis case, the abdominal tip of the shunt tube had been anchored at the same place for 6 months beforebowel perforation. This finding may support the hypothesis that fibrous encasement of a shunt tube maytrigger abdominal complications, as previously suggested.
