Perfuração Gástrica Assintomática Tardia Após Derivação Ventrículo-Peritoneal

Late abdominal perforation due to Peritoneal Ventricle Derivations (PVD), with migration of the catheter tip is a very rare situation. Incidence estimated from 0.01 to 1% of all complications. Methods: retrospective study and literature review. Case Report: A case of DVP production in a 29-year-old female patient, asymptomatic from a neurological, abdominal or infectious point of view is presented. Incidental finding in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGE). Removal of the intragastric portion of PVD by UGE and exteriorization of the distal catheter without infection of the shunt. Conclusions: Perforations of abdominal viscera related to PVD are potentially severe. We present, therefore, a case without late complications of abdominal or liquorical infections. In the medical literature researched, we found no asymptomatic case like this.
