ABSTRACT
Hydrocephalus is a common nosological entity, with ventricular shunting towards any cavity as the treatment of choice in many cases. Among the most frequent complications, we have the abdominal ones with the formation of collections, as well as irruption to the intestinal system with subsequent migration of the same with presentation of symptoms at this level. We present the case of a patient with no abdominal symptoms and migration of the distal catheter towards the rectum.REFERENCES
