Abstract

Ventriculopleural shunts are one of the alternatives to ventriculoperitoneal shunts for draining cerebrospinal fluid. They are used in patients who have failed multiple ventriculoperitoneal shunts because of peritonitis, loculated ascites, or pseudocyst formation, or those who are not optimal candidates for vascular shunts. A case of acute recurrent subcutaneous emphysema around the incision of a ventriculopleural shunt is presented.
