Abstract
- Variety of complications following ventriculoperitoneal(V-P) shunt have been reported. However, right ventricular migration of a V-P shunt has never been documented. The authors present a case of migrated peritoneal catheter of a V-P shunt system into the right venticle. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case complicated with migration of a peritoneal tube into the right ventricle. The patient was presented with fever and the migration was diagnosed by chest X-ray, and neck and cardiac ultrasonography.
