Article Synopsis
- A blockage of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a frequent issue, and this case describes a unique instance in an infant with hydrocephalus linked to a Dandy-Walker malformation.
- During surgery, it was discovered that the entire VP shunt had moved into the subgaleal space, resulting in symptoms of shunt obstruction.
- The authors propose strategies to prevent this uncommon but avoidable complication that can arise from shunt surgery.
