DOI: 10.1007/s00381-020-04926-7
Abstract: We present the case of a 5-month-old patient presenting with pleural migration of ventriculo-peritoneal shunt catheter who returned 2 months later with respiratory distress. Ultimately, the diagnosis of a Morgagni hernia was made. This diagnosis, though… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2017.1297370
Abstract: Abstract Shunt series (SS) X-rays are often performed as additional routine initial investigations for suspected ventriculo-peritoneal shunt dysfunction, despite low diagnostic utility and radiological implications. We reviewed such referrals at our neurosurgical unit and found… read more here.
