摘要
Over 30 cases of perforation of the bowel have been described by intact peritoneal catheters of ventriculo-peritoneal and some lumbo-peritoneal shunts. Because of this risk it is advocated that redundant or free fractured or disconnected peritoneal catheters should if possible be removed from the abdomen; although we could find no reports of morbidity from such free fragments. We describe a case of extrusion per-rectum of a redundant fractured peritoneal catheter which it had not been possible to retrieve after a revision procedure.
