Laparoscopic management of abdominal pseudocyst following ventriculoperitoneal shunt implantation in hydrocephalus

description | Abdominal pseudocyst (AP) is quite a rare complication after ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) for the treatment of hydrocephalus. Laparoscopy is an alternative method to open surgery with well-known advantages. There are not many reports of using laparoscopy to treat this condition and existing algorithms are based on small groups of patients; thus every case would give an additional insight into the treatment of this complication. A 37-year-old male patient with a history of VPS presented with headache, nausea and upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography of the abdominal cavity revealed a cyst in the left upper quadrant. After the ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage the patient was qualified for laparoscopy. The cyst was removed laparoscopically under guidance of laparoscopic ultrasound. The patient recovered uneventfully with very good general and cosmetic results. In the follow-up period of 3 months we have not observed any abdominal or general health problems. |
