| Abstract |
|
Ten-month-old boy presented generalized tonic clonic seizure and somnolence. Six months earlier, he underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt for treating hydrocephalus. Brain computed tomography scan showed a free
Floating catheter in the right lateral ventricle and huge porencephalic cysts. On operative findings, proximal catheter was broken at the point where the right angle clip was placed on the burr hole. The fractured catheter showed no degenerative changes such as calcifications. Redundancy of the proximal catheter, motion around the reservoir and loose periosteal securing for the reservoir might responsible for the slippage of the catheter out of the right angle clip and the fracture of the proximal catheter. |
