Author ProfileAbstract
Total intracranial shunt migration is an extremely rare complication
following ventriculoperitoneal shunting and it occurs probably due to
raised intra-peritoneal pressure, strong head movements, and inadequate
shunt fixation. The best possible approach to prevent shunt migration
would be better patient handling along with appropriate operative
techniques.
