摘要：
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is one of the most common pediatric neurosurgical procedures. It has various complications that may have serious consequences such as shunt dysfunction, and unusual migration. Although, migration of shunt catheter to bladder, heart, umbilicus, rectum, pulmonary artery, and stomach has been reported, migration to vagina is a rare one. In this report we present a 16-month-old girl in whom VP shunt catheter was found in vagina. We will also describe the mechanism by which the VP shunt migrated to vagina.
