    AbstractThe intrahepatic migration of a peritoneal shunt tube of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt system (low pressure Pudenz valve and low pressure Pudenz peritoneal catheter) is reported. This is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting and was diagnosed by metrizamide shuntography and abdominal computed tomography. To our knowledge, this is the second case complicated with migration of a peritoneal shunt tube into the liver.
