Transient ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction after constipation

Abstract

The most common encountering complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunting are infection and shunt malfunction. In this report we present an unusual cause of ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction as constipation.A 40-year-old male patient underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt-ing due to idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus four months ago. Postoperatively the patient’s complaints near completely resolved. In the 4th month follow-up control the patient suffered from motor weakness in both legs and abdominal pain. On the physical examination ab-dominal distension was observed. On the neurological examination mild (MRC power: 4/5) paraparesis and lethargy was observed. Fundus ex-amination showed bilateral pupil stasis. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed marked ventricular dilatation despite the proper position of ventricular catheter. Valve punction with a fine needle showed no abnormality and free cerebrospinal fluid drainage. Valve pumping test was normal. Cerebrospinal fluid analyses were within normal range without infection or biochemical abnormality. In the standing abdominal x-ray graphy, abdominal distension and close relation of peritoneal catheter with bowels was seen. The patient underwent medical theraphy with laxatives and his complaints resolved near totally on third day of the treatment. Reduction in ventricular size was also seen on the fifth day control computed tomography. Constipation rarely cause shunt malfunction and laxative treatment resolves the symptoms without any additional surgical intervention.
