Cranial Defect Overlying a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt: Pressure Gradient Leading to Free Flap Deterioration?
We report a case of free flap deterioration which may have been induced by pressure gradient resulting from cranial defect overlying a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VP shunt). The patient, male and aged 78, had a VP shunt operation for progressive hydrocephalus. Afterwards, the scalp skin flap surroun...
