“…The majority of cases appear months after surgery, and the majority of patients are asymptomatic, with diagnosis based only on visualization of the prolapsed catheter from the anus. The exact pathophysiology behind shunt extrusion is not well-established, but various mechanisms have been proposed to explain it [2]. Children's thin intestine walls, the VP shunt's pointed and stiff end, operating surgeons' use of trocars, previous surgery, chronic shunt irritation, infection, and silicone allergy are only a few factors that could affect the rate of abdominal complications of VP shunt [3,4].…”
