Abstract
Four patients presented with intracerebral hemorrhage secondary to ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt insertion. VP shunt insertion was performed for idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (Case 1), hydrocephalus after cerebellar hemorrhage (Case 2), and subarachnoid hemorrhage followed by meningitis (Cases 3 and 4). Cerebral hemorrhage was confirmed 4 hours (Case 1), 2 days (Case 2), 7 days (Case 3), and 13 days (Case 4) after the operation. Cases 1 and 2 required intraoperative hemostasis for bleeding from the cortical vein. The 7 previous and our 4 patients were divided according to early (within 2 days after shunt placement, n = 6, Group 1) and delayed (5-13 days post-shunting, n = 5, Group 2) hemorrhage. Bleeding was attributable to venous occlusion due to intraoperative manipulation in Group 1, and to the vulnerability of brain tissue induced by a primary brain disease in Group 2Keywords
