A Giant Calcified Subdural Empyema, a Complication of Ventriculo Peritoneal Shunt: Surgical Management and Revue of Literature
Open Journal of Modern Neurosurgery(2020)
摘要
Subdural empyema is not a usual complication of ventriculo peritoneal shunt and the discovery of his calcified form is much exceptional in young adults. We report the case of a female patient of 17 years old carrying a shunt since 16 years who was received for retro auricular suppuration facing the intra ventricular drain and whom cerebral CT-Scan shows a right hemispheric calcified empyema. A large craniotomy was realized in the same time than an external ventricular drain. Evolution was marked by minor right body motor troubles and seizures. Difficulties we have faced during the management are a reminder about morbidity due to the insertion of a ventriculo peritoneal shunt and the need of and long term follow up for the carriers.
