Introduction: With increasing life expectancy, degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) has become a common problem in the geriatric population.

We share our experiences of treating octogenarian patients with LSS with key lesion percutaneous single portal endoscopic unilateral laminotomy and bilateral decompression (sEndo-ULBD).

Intramuscular Migration of Venous Catheter as a Rare Complication of Ventriculoatrial Shunt: Case Report and Literature Review.
J Neurol Surg A Cent Eur Neurosurg
July 2017
Article Synopsis
- The primary method to treat hydrocephalus is a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, with other options including ventriculoatrial (VA), ventriculopleural, lumboperitoneal, and ventriculocisternal shunts.
- VA shunts are less common and carry risks such as obstructions, infections, and heart-related complications.
- This report focuses on a rare occurrence of a venous tube from a VA shunt migrating into muscle tissue one year post-implantation, exploring potential migration sites following the procedure.
