Abstract
- We report a case of ventriculoureteral shunt to reise malfunctioning ventriculoperitoneal shunt in a 30-year-old man. The patient had 4 times recurrent pseudocyst filled with cerebrospinal fluid caused by complications at the distal end of the abdominal catheter. The presence of an abdominal pseudocyst can be detected by performing an ultrasound examination of the abdomen. We shall describe the operative technique of the ventriculoureteral shunt procedure without nephrectomy by reimplantation of the ureter and a psoas hitch.
