[Extraneural metastasis of an oligodendroglioma in ventriculo-peritoneal shunt].
The clinical and pathological report presents a seven-week old girl suffering from signs of raised ICP. A ventriculo-atrial shunt was inserted and replaced by a ventriculo-abdominal shunt due to occlusion at 15 months of age. At 16 months, craniotomy and resection of an oligodendroglioma was performed and the shunt was preserved. The child died at 18 months due to extensive local recurrence. Autopsy revealed massive peritoneal metastases of the tumor. This is the eleventh published case of canalicular metastases of glioma.
