Source abstract
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) related metastization of intracranial tumors to the peritoneal cavity is an uncommon but a well-recognized complication. Ascending spread of tumors, located in the peritoneum or near the subcutaneous path of the VPS, is an exceptional rare event. We present a very rare and complex case of intracranial dissemination of cervical tumor in a three-year-old young patient with a past medical history of hydrocephalus-related post-endovascular treatment of Galen vein aneurysm through a ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter implanted when the patient was five months old.
