title: Total migration of a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt into the ventricles.
abstract: Shunt migration into the cranial ventricle is a rare complication of shunt surgery. We encountered this complication in an infant within three weeks of insertion. The shunt tube was removed and replaced by another tube with a reservoir, following which the child did well.
