Transanal protrusion ventriculoperitoneal shunt migration in hydrocephalus patients
Perforation of the abdominal visceraand protrusionofthe distal end of the ventricul operitonealshunt are uncommon but serious complications of pediatric surgery. We report a case of distal ventriculoperitonealshunt protrusion into the appendix by transanal access in a patient who did not exhibit typical appendicitis symptoms. We report the case of a 2-year-old male with anal extrusion and assess his condition.
