Cerebrospinal fluid-ventriculoperitoneal shunts are often used in the treatment of hydrocephalus in children. Many complications can arise that may lead to shunt malfunction, including detachment of the distal limb of the shunt. A case is presented where such a complication occurred with distal migration of the detached tubing into the abdomen, which resulted in a patent subcutaneous tract through which cerebrospinal fluid could drain. The need for radiographic correlation at the time of radionuclide shuntography is stressed.
