| PubMedID- 26313776 | Causes of vp shunt-related intestinal obstruction varied, with volvulus being the most common cause, again likely related to the fact that volvulus is a relatively common problem in the pediatric population.29 mechanical obstruction due to twisting of the catheter was the second most common cause, and in some cases, obstruction occurred as a loop of the shunt catheter tightened around a bowel loop during removal.18,19 interestingly, there were only 3 cases in which obstruction was related to adhesions: 2 in this report and 1 other in which adhesions were related to a volvulus.17 it is still worth noting that volvulus/bowel obstruction or elevated intra-abdominal pressure can result in the shunt's malfunction or strangulation, a situation that requires urgent externalization or revision to correct. |
| PubMedID- 23340985 | Important life threatening causes in infancy include congenital intestinal obstruction, atresia, malrotation with volvulus, necrotizing enterocolitis, pyloric stenosis, intussusception, shaken baby syndrome, hydrocephalus, inborn errors of metabolism, congenital adrenal hypoplasia, obstructive uropathy, sepsis, meningitis and encephalitis, and severe gastroenteritis, and in older children appendicitis, intracranial mass lesion, diabetic ketoacidosis, reye's syndrome, toxic ingestions, uremia, and meningitis. |
