Abstract
The authors report three patients with abdominal pseudocysts and one with cerebrospinal fluid ascites as late complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunts. The presenting signs and symptoms were those of intraabdominal abnormality, with no neurological symptoms suggestive of shunt malfunction.Keywords
