Multiple Shunt Catheter Tips Migration into an Inguinal Hernia in an Adult
Abstract: Although ventriculoperitoneal shunt tip migration into an inguinal hernia is considered common in children, while in adults it is quite rare. In fact, only a handful of cases have been reported in the literature. We report a rare case whereby two catheter tips (one from a lateral ventricle shunt and a second from a 4th ventricular shunt) migrated into an inguinal hernia. This migration caused distal shunt malfunction, and only distal catheter shortening and suturing to the abdominal wall caused the two shunts to function again.
