Abstract

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt catheter migration remains a rare but documented complication seen in one in 1000 patients who receive a VP shunt. Migration of the VP shunt into the scrotum is even more uncommon and requires surgical treatment. We report a unique case of a 6-month-old preterm male who developed right scrotal migration of his VP shunt. However, the tip of the VP shunt spontaneously reduced to its normal position, and repeated imaging months later showed no recurrence.
