Abstract
This case emphasizes the safety of laparoscopy in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts.
Previously published reports have suggested possible risks associated with laparoscopy in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
We report a case of a 17-year-old male with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt inserted 6 years ago to manage hydrocephalus that developed after surgery for medulloblastoma. The patient presented with a 5-day history of abdominal pain. He was diagnosed as having acute biliary pancreatitis. We performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the ventriculoperitoneal shunt in place.
The patient had an uneventful recovery with no shunt-related complications.
