Total Migration of the Lumbo-peritoneal valve from D4 to V4: Case Report

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: The valve devices are designed for the treatment of hydrocephalus, Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) and lumbopperitoneal shunt (LPS), but they have two complications: infectious and mechanical. Among the latter, we find the dysconnection and migrations of parts of the valves either in the intracranial ventricular cavities or in the natural cavities of the patient's body (heart, colon, bladder, lung, vena cava, etc.) even externalization. through natural orifices.
