Muthukumaran J, Balasubramaniam P, K. Srinivasaraj, P. Mohanavel
Abstract :
We report two cases of post ventricular–peritoneal shunt done for congenital hydrocephalus in infancy, subsequently presented to us with abdominal distension and diagnosed as CSF – ascites , both these children were evaluated . The mechanism of ascites development in one patient is due to high protein levels in the CSF and in the other, the cause remains unclear. Both of them undergone ventricular gallbladder shunt as an alternative mode of CSF drainage and they recovered well without any complications. Ventricular gallbladder shunting provided an effective receptacle for CSF in these patients.
