Résumé

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt is the most common treatment to manage hydrocephalus; it is unfortunately burdened by up to 25% of complications. The peritoneal approach may expose patients to many complications, however the formation of a liver pseudocyst is a rare occurrence, and its mechanisms are still largely unknown.
