Native Ureter Ventriculo-Ureteral Shunt Placement for Management of Refractory Hydrocephalus in a Child with a History of Renal Transplant: Case Report and Technical Note.
2020
Abstract This report describes the case of a 5-year-old male with intractable hydrocephalus secondary to neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage who was ultimately managed with the placement of a ventriculo-ureteral (VU) shunt. He had previously failed numerous attempts at cerebrospinal fluid shunting, choroid plexus cauterization, and endoscopic third ventriculostomy. The patient had a history of end stage renal disease, and had previously undergone renal transplant. In an operation that involved Neurosurgeons, Pediatric Urologists, and Transplant surgeons, a Gibson incision was used to avoid the patient's multiple intraabdominal adhesions, and his nonfunctioning renal unit was used to implant a VU shunt without early or late complications.
