Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Introduction: Ventriculoperitoneal shunts are used for the treatment of hydrocephalus. Abdominal complications occur with an incidence rate ranging from 5% to 47%. However, cerebrospinal fluid hepatic pseudocyst is a rare complication. Case Presentation: An 85-year-old female patient presented with abdominal pain. A homogeneous intrahepatic collection was identified, secondary to migration of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Conclusion: Complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunts, while variable, are exceptional and can present with diverse clinical symptoms. Laparoscopic surgery management can enable patients to receive the benefits of minimally invasive surgery.
