Abstract :
Ventriculoperitonal shunt dysfunction can be a displeasing result after management of hydrocephalus. Proksimal tip malfunction of the system is rarely seen compared with distal catheter. Here we report a 6-month-old infant who was treated with ventriculoperitonal shunt system after the diagnosis of hydrocephalus at birth and presented with shunt dysfunction 6 months after the operation.
