This study aimed to characterize pediatric distal VPS migration at Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital, Indonesia, and to synthesize evidence.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n We conducted a retrospective case series of children aged 0\u201318 years with hydrocephalus who underwent VPS placement between January 2020 and December 2024. Distal catheter migration was identified clinically and\/or radiologically. A preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses-guided systematic review of English-language case reports, and case series published from 2014 to June 2025 was also performed using PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and the Cochrane Library. Data on migration site, recurrent hydrocephalus, infection, and management were extracted. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tools.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Seven migrations were identified among 453 VPS procedures, yielding an incidence of 1.55%; infection occurred in one patient. The review included 59 publications comprising 66 cases. The mean patient age was 44.7 \u00b1 53.8 months, and mean time to migration was 31.2 \u00b1 45.8 months. Infection was not associated with a broad migration-site category. However, contamination-related migration involving visceral or hollow-organ perforation\/extrusion showed higher infection rates than relatively sterile-site migration. Hydrocephalus recurrence differed significantly by migration site.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Distal VPS migration is rare but frequently requires operative management. A broad migration-site category was associated with hydrocephalus recurrence but not infection; however, contamination-related visceral or hollow-organ involvement was associated with higher infection frequency. These findings should be interpreted cautiously because of the small institutional sample and the case-report-derived evidence base.<\/jats:p>\n
