Migración de catéter distal a nivel del recto como complicación de derivación ventriculoperitoneal. Reporte de un caso

Abstract

Hydrocephalus is a common nosological entity, with ventri¬cular shunting towards any cavity as the treatment of choice in many cases. Among the most frequent complications, we have the abdominal ones with the formation of collections, as well as irruption to the intestinal system with subsequent migration of the same with presentation of symptoms at this level. We present the case of a patient with no abdominal symptoms and migration of the distal catheter towards the rectum. Keywords: Shunt ventricular; complications; migration; distal catheter; rectum.
