Intraabdominal Pseudocyst Developed after Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt: A Case Report
Özet
Abdominal pseudocyst is a rare complication developing after ventriculoperitoneal shunt treatment. It is more commonly seen particularly in children. The underlying pathogenesis may be associated with repeat revisions or infections. Morphologically, it has no complete cyst wall, presenting only with a pseudocapsule among the intestinal loops, around the lower shunt tip. The principal problem appears to be the reduced peritoneal absorption capacity. The treatment is complicated and difficult. In this report, we present an 8-year-old abdominal pseudocyst case with a history of many shunt revisions.
