- Abstract
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) and cystoperitoneal (CP) shunt insertion are common surgical treatment methods for hydrocephalus which allow the drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into the peritoneal cavity. Although these procedures are safe and effective, they may lead to various intraabdominal complications including colonic perforation. Shunt related colonic perforations have high mortality and morbidity rate because of peritonitis and/or retrograde intracranial infections. We presented here a child who developed hemiparesis due to subdural abscess after colonic perforation.
