The complications arising in patients with VP shunts are well documented. We present a case of infertility in a patient with a long-standing VP shunt. Her infertility is thought to be the result of pelvic adhesions due to factors related to the distal end of her VP shunt. A 22-year-old female with a 1-year history of infertility was referred due to bilateral hydrosalpinges. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed multiple adhesions surrounding the distal end of the fallopian tubes. The distal portion of a VP shunt, which was placed over the course of her childhood, was found to be grossly inflamed and densely adherent to the pelvic viscera. VP shunts may produce abdominal adhesions and can cause mechanical infertility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjac590","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,18]],"date-time":"2022-12-18T14:36:58Z","timestamp":1671374218000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A case of primary infertility and a patient with ventriculoperitoneal shunt"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2022","author":[{"given":"Elior","family":"Eliasi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tel Aviv University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center, Sackler School of Medicine, , Bnei Brak , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adiel","family":"Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebrew University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hadassah Medical Organization and Faculty of Medicine, , Jerusalem , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oren","family":"Wasser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical School , Jerusalem , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Oelsner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tel Aviv University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center, Sackler School of Medicine, , Bnei Brak , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022121814364898700_ref1","first-page":"473","article-title":"Abdominal complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunts with emphasis on the role of imaging methods","volume":"156","author":"Agha","year":"1983","journal-title":"Surg Gynecol Obstet"},{"key":"2022121814364898700_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.4103\/ajns.AJNS_216_19","article-title":"Ventriculoperitoneal shunt complication in pediatric hydrocephalus: risk factor analysis from a single institution in Nepal","volume":"15","author":"Paudel","year":"2020","journal-title":"Asian J Neurosurg"},{"key":"2022121814364898700_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"295","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(17)57464-9","article-title":"Abdominal and genitourinary complications following ventriculoperitoneal shunts","volume":"119","author":"Redman","year":"1978","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"key":"2022121814364898700_ref4","first-page":"134","article-title":"Maternal neurosurgical shunts and pregnancy outcome","volume":"83","author":"Landwehr","year":"1994","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"2022121814364898700_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"90","DOI":"10.1016\/S1074-3804(05)60019-9","article-title":"Infertility and ventriculoperitoneal shunt","volume":"11","author":"Azim","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc"},{"key":"2022121814364898700_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"297","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200107263450417","article-title":"Sterile cerebrospinal fluid ascites and chronic peritonitis","volume":"345","author":"Longstreth","year":"2001","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"2022121814364898700_ref7","first-page":"512","volume-title":"Goetz Textbook of Clinical Neurology","author":"Golan","year":"1999","edition":"1st"},{"key":"2022121814364898700_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"388","DOI":"10.1016\/S0090-3019(00)00334-7","article-title":"Spontaneous bowel perforation after ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery: case report and review of 45 cases","volume":"54","author":"Sathanarayama","year":"2000","journal-title":"Surg Neurol"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2022\/12\/rjac590\/48077027\/rjac590.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2022\/12\/rjac590\/48077027\/rjac590.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,18]],"date-time":"2022-12-18T14:37:03Z","timestamp":1671374223000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjac590\/6927248"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,1]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjac590","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2042-8812"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2022,12]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,1]]},"article-number":"rjac590"}}
