title: Shunt in scrotum: unusual complication in operated cases of hydrocephalus.
abstract: Shunt surgeries in patients with hydrocephalus are associated with morbidity and mortality. The most common problems are shunt obstruction and malfunction. We described a case of shunt migration into the scrotal sac masquerading as scrotal swelling. Shunt repositioning along with posterior wall repair and herniotomy was performed.
