Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts are catheters inserted to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) when there is an obstruction in the normal outflow or a decreased absorption of the fluid leading to hydrocephalus. Recognised complications of placement of the distal catheter are malposition, obstruction, pseudocysts and infection. Here, we present a case of a 23-year-old female with acute pancreatitis following the placement of a VP shunt in the lesser sac.

Background: Pancreatic pseudocysts are characterized by the leakage of pancreatic juice caused by various reasons, which leads to pancreatic juice accumulates around the pancreas, and stimulates the greater omentum and other tissues to form an area of fibrotic loculated effusion with an integrated capsule. Approximately, one-third of patients experienced recurrent pancreatic juice leakage, compression symptoms, infection, and bleeding, which requires surgical intervention, but spontaneous rupture cases are extremely rare.
Case Presentation: We here present the case of 40-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting for two days and 10 h, respectively.
