Pseudotumor cerebri in kaposiform lymphangiomatosis: a case report and pathogenetic hypothesis.

Case Report: A 4-year-old boy with kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) developed progressive headaches and papilloedema and was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri initially treated with acetazolamide. Clinical deterioration prompted placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. After the surgery, the child's condition has markedly improved.

Migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter through the processus vaginalis in infants: how serious inguinal hernia and hydrocele might be.

Migration of the catheter tip of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) through a patent processus vaginalis (PV) has seldom being reported. In this series, we analyzed all cases of inguinoscrotal migration of an VPS catheter at our center. Between 1975 and 2015, 295 VPS insertions were performed.
