An 82-year-old male with intractable bilateral chronic subdural hematomas was treated by emplacement of bilateral subduroperitoneal shunts on the left in 1990 and on the right in 1991. Chronic subdural hematoma recurred in 1992 due to an unusual migration of a shunt catheter into the subdural space. This migration was probably due to inadequate fixation of the shunt. Shunt replacement and fixation with an anchoring wing has resulted in no further complications for 2 years.
