Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery is the standard treatment for hydrocephalus; it involves draining excess cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricular cavities into the peritoneal cavity using a valve. This method is associated with two main types of complications: infectious and mechanical. 
Most published series report an infectious complication rate of around 10% and a mechanical complication rate that can reach 40%. 
Anal migration of the valve is a rare complication. In such cases, the catheter is removed on an emergency basis and replaced with another valve.
The aim of this poster was to alert physicians and neurosurgeons to the importance of early diagnosis and management of this complication in order to prevent infectious consequences.
