摘　　要：<b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Background:</span></b><span style="font-family:;" "=""><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> The ventriculoperitoneal (VPS) shunt is the most common procedure in the treatment of hydrocephalus in children. Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocysts are a rare complication of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt with an incidence ranging from less than 1% to 10% and are more prevalent in children. The malfunction of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt can cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, altered level of consciousness and abdominal pain due to the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid. There is no consensus on which type of treatment is better in this case, but there are several available methods. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Aim:</span></b> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">To </span><span style="font-family:;" "=""><span style="font-family:Verdana;">report an unusual case of a giant abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst as a complication of the VPS. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Case Presentation:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Female 1</span></span><span style="font-family:;" "=""> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">y/3</span><span style="font-family:;" "=""> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">m</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">on</span><span style="font-family:;" "=""><span style="font-family:Verdana;">ths old patient, less than 7 kg, that has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus prenatally, confirmed postnatally associated with an esophageal atresia and distal tracheoesophageal fistula (AE/FTE, Gross III), was admitted to our service with progressive abdominal distention without obstructive intestinal signs or peritoneal inflammatory signs.
