A ventriculoperitoneal shunt incidentally found in the stomach.


ABSTRACT: We report a case of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt incidentally found within the stomach while the patient was undergoing a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement. Among the complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement, bowel perforation is rare a complication found in 0.01%-0.07% of cases, and typically occurs in premature infants and neonates [1]. To date, less than 100 such cases have been recorded of which only a few have appeared in the radiological literature. Here we discuss the current literature, the radiological features, clinical presentations and the management.
