Abdominal pseudocyst secondary to ventriculoperitoneal shunt along with left staghorn renal calculus management: A rare case report

Abstract

Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst is an unusual and important complication in patients with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. Abdominal pseudocyst secondary to long-term (23 years) VP shunt is a rare complication, and associated staghorn calculus presentation is not yet reported in the literature. Herein, we present our management of abdominal pseudocyst with left staghorn calculus removal at the same sitting.
