Neurosurgical shunts occasionally act as a conduit for seeding of central nervous system tumours to the abdomen. Retrograde spread of extra-neural tumours to the central nervous system is exceedingly rare.

This is also the first case report of a struma ovarii tumour metastasis to the central nervous system via any route.
