Özet

Shunt application is one of the most common treatment method for hydrocephalus. Many complications have been reported in literature for ventricular and peritoneal catheters and shunt valve. Spontaneous knotting of peritoneal catheter is an extremely rare condition. Mechanism of knotting is still unclear and peristaltism, elasticity of shunt materials, intraabdominal density, length of the peritoneal catheter and surgical technique may be responsible factors. In this paper, we presented a peritoneal catheter knotting resulted in shunt dysfunction in an 8-year-old girl. During surgery, we removed the peritoneal catheter, untied the knot and placed in the peritoneum again.
