Article Synopsis
- Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is a common procedure in pediatric neurosurgery but can lead to serious complications, with obstruction and infection being the most frequent.
- A rare case involving a 12-month-old patient included posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus and extreme prematurity complications, ultimately leading to the discovery of a traumatic occipital artery pseudoaneurysm after VPS insertion.
- The pseudoaneurysm manifested as a pulsatile swelling and was surgically treated, highlighting the need for awareness and consideration of surgical repair for this unusual complication in VPS procedures.
