摘要：

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the most common treatment for hydrocephalus, however it is not free of complications. Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst (ACP) is an uncommon, but potentially life-threatening, complication of VPS. It is characterized by a fluid filled collection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the peritoneal cavity containing the distal end of the VPS catheter and is surrounded by a wall composed of fibrous tissues without an epithelial lining. We report the case a Brazilian Amazon woman that presented ACP fifteen years after the placement of a VPS. Physicians should be aware of this possible complication once early diagnosis would improve outcome and reduce patient's suffering and distress.
