- W4308294566 abstract "Shunt calcification is a known late sequela of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt insertion and is associated with shunt malfunction. However, in some patients, while shunt functionality is preserved despite calcification of the catheters, they experience nociceptive symptoms. In this paper, the authors present their surgical experience in managing patients with a functional VP shunt and experiencing pain secondary to shunt calcification. We analysed outcomes of patients presenting with pain at the level of a calcified shunt who underwent surgical untethering of the calcified catheter from the soft tissues. This procedure was commenced by the senior author in 2015. Patients were collected prospectively from the databases of two institutions. Evidence of shunt calcification was confirmed on neuroimaging. Seven patients, two male and five female, were included. The mean age at untethering was 13.5 years. The mean time interval between primary shunt surgery and symptom onset was 12 years (range 6–16 years). The commonest site of tethering was the neck (50%) followed by abdomen and chest (both 25%). Six patients underwent untethering of the catheter from soft tissues. One patient had removal of a redundant segment of calcified shunt left in situ during a previous revision. All patients experienced pain relief following shunt untethering. Untethering of calcified VP shunt catheters from soft tissue can be considered an effective treatment of shunt site pain and offered to patients presenting with a functional VP shunt." @default.
