Abstract
Migration of the distal catheter of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to the scrotum is a documented but rare event. We present a case in which a 13 month old infant with hydrocephalus had recurrent migration of the peritoneal catheter to the right scrotum associated with a developing hydrocele. The patient underwent two revision operations and the distal catheter was ultimately shortened. He later underwent bilateral inguinal hernia repairs.
