Introduction:
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is one of the most frequently performed procedures in neurosurgical practice. The first surgical procedure of VP shunt in the long-term treatment of hydrocephalus was performed by Kausch in 1908 (1). It is commonly used to treat different types of hydrocephalus like obstructive hydrocephalus and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). Shunt failure is the most common complication that occurs in 40-70% of the cases. Other complications may include shunt blockage, infection, over drainage, underdrainage and visual field defects. VP shunt migration is one of the common complications and can occur in both cranial and caudal direction. It can possibly migrate to other parts of the body such as gallbladder, anus, liver, umbilicus, colon and thorax. However, complete intracranial migration of VP shunt is a rare occurrence (. We herein present a case of a 10-month-old child who presented with complete intracranial migration of a VP shunt.
