  • Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst is an uncommon complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) performed for hydrocephalus. The incidence of VPS complications in children is higher than in adults. There are controversies and difficulties in the treatment of the abdominal pseudocyst. We report a case of abdominal pseudocyst complicating VPS in a boy. Partial excision of pseudocyst and replacement of the VP shunt were effective during a followup of 18 months postoperatively with no recurrence.
