Abstract
Pseudocyst formation is a rare complication after Ventriculo-peritoneal shunts. The abdomen has a tendency to get colonized by organisms repeatedly. Our 10 month old patient had developed a CSF pseudocyst after VP shunt surgery, for which cyst excision with shunt replacement was done. This child again came with abdominal pain and distension 3 months after surgery. Investigations revealed a recurrence of pseudocyst. The cyst was re-excised and abdominal end of shunt placed retro-splenic. The patient has not had a recurrence since then.
