Abstract

<p>We experienced a case of very low birth weight infant with intraventricular hemorrhage and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) repeated shunt malfunction due to the abdominal cerebrospinal pseudocyst (APC) after ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS). Ventriculoatrial shunt was useful in patients with recurrent APC, and reconstruction by VAS should be considered early in high-risk patients. As the progress of neonatal care, there would be more opportunities to treat infants with more complicated and serious conditions such as post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus with NEC.</p>
