Abstract

Bladder perforation Case report Extrusion per urethra Laparoscopic Minimally invasive Ventriculoperitoneal shunt
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is a well-established procedure for the management of hydrocephalus. Its complications might include distal migration of the shunt and organ perforation. However, bladder perforation and subsequent extrusion of the shunt per the urethra is a rare complication. In this report, we present this exceptional event with a minimally invasive approach of management in a 7-months-old girl.
