Bacterial contamination of the cerebrospinal fluid was found, and Computed Tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed that the V-P shunt tube had penetrated the transverse colon and the descending colon. Head CT scan showed hydrocephalus, but it did not get worse than previous CT imaging. An emergency operation was performed and laparoscopic exploration revealed penetration of the peritoneal shunt tube, which was totally covered by fibrous tissue from the fistula, into the transverse colon. No gastrointestinal leakage or contamination of the abdominal space was found, so we removed the peritoneal shunt tube and ligated the fistula in the subcutaneous layer.\nColon penetration by a V-P shunt tube is rare, and in this case, laparoscopic procedure was performed safely. This indicates that laparoscopic procedure is one of the useful technique for the treatment of V-P shunt trouble other than open procedure. Furthermore, laparoscopic procedure also reduces risk of accidental organ injury during operation and intra-abdominal adhesion after operation.\nIt is also useful to ligate and dissect the fistula in the subcutaneous layer. Because if the fistula closure is defective, the abscess will occur only in the subcutaneous layer and infectional peritonitis can be avoided., 論文}, pages = {59--64}, title = {[症例報告]腹腔鏡が有用であった脳室腹腔シャントチューブ横行結腸穿通による 細菌性髄膜炎の1例}, volume = {34} }
