Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage from Scrotum Secondary to Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Migration
Abstract: Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts are a common neurosurgical procedure used to treat hydrocephalus. Despite their efficacy, many shunts fail and require revisions. The most common causes of shunt failure include obstruction, infection, migration, and perforation. Extraperitoneal migrations require urgent attention. We present a case of migration to the scrotum, a unique complication that may be present in young patients due to the presence of a patent processus vaginalis. Here, we discuss a case of a 16-month-old male patient with a VP shunt presenting with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage from his scrotum after an indirect hernia repair. This case represents an important reminder for physicians about the sequelae associated with VP shunt complications, particularly extraperitoneal migration, and brings awareness to the underlying factors that may increase this risk.
