ABSTRACT
Spontaneous migration of the shunt catheter into the posterior cranial fossa is very rare complication of lumboperitoneal shunt operation. The authors report a case with communicating hydrocephalus following ruptured intracranial aneurysm for which a lumboperitoneal shunt was placed. Four years later, she was presented with low back pain after the slip-down in jury, and radiologic studies revealed compression fracture at T12 and intracranial migration of shunt catether into the posterior fossa. From our knowledge, there is only one other such case reported in the literature.
