Migration of a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt catheter into a back incision of a patient with previous spinal fusion
2018
Introduction
This case examines a unique, longitudinal presentation of an abandoned, migrating VP shunt which presents as multiple complications, including a weeping abscess in the patients back. We believe that the latter complication was potentially caused by the wound from the patient’s previous history of spinal fusion surgery.
