Abstract:
The intraphepatic migration of a distal ventriculopritoneal shunt tube(Accu-flo shunt system medium pressure) is reported. This is rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt, which was diagnosed by abdominal computed tomography. To our knowledge, this is the third reported case complication with migration of a peritoneal shunt tube into the liver.
