This 4-month-old girl underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt revision, during which the old ventricular catheter was removed from the posterior horn of the left lateral ventricle, but the choroid plexus was pulled out by the tip of the catheter. Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage were observed postoperatively. Magnetic resonance (MR) angiography performed on the 12th postoperative day revealed ICA stenosis and aneurysm formation at the C<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub> portion of the left ICA. Contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CT) scans obtained on the 21st postoperative day revealed recurrent IVH and enlargement of the lesion. The patient underwent surgery for treatment of the aneurysm. Operative findings revealed a pseudoaneurysm arising from the left ICA at the proximal end of the anterior choroidal artery (AChA). The aneurysm was removed and the wall of the ICA was reconstructed. Postoperative three-dimensional CT scanning and MR angiography demonstrated disappearance of the aneurysm and preservation of the ICA. The patient was discharged without additional neurological deficits.<\/jats:p><jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">Many complications, including IVH, are associated with removal of a ventricular catheter. This case shows that pseudoaneurysm formation can occur in a remote region due to avulsion of the AChA from the ICA. In most circumstances a ventricular catheter can be removed without difficulty. However, precision and caution should be exercised when removing a ventricular catheter.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1999.91.6.1031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,13]],"date-time":"2009-05-13T17:21:09Z","timestamp":1242235269000},"page":"1031-1033","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Ruptured cerebral pseudoaneurysm caused by the removal of a ventricular catheter"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"Reizo","family":"Shirane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takeo","family":"Kondo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuko K.","family":"Yoshida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susumu","family":"Furuta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takashi","family":"Yoshimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Neurochirurgia","first-page":"61","article-title":"Plexectomy as an aid in blocked ventriculo-venous shunts.","volume":"9","author":"Andersson","year":"1966"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Neurosurg Clin North Am","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"633","DOI":"10.1016\/S1042-3680(18)30556-4","article-title":"Complications in ventricular cerebrospinal fluid shunting.","volume":"4","author":"Blount","year":"1993"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"Pediatr Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"315","DOI":"10.1159\/000120922","article-title":"Intraventricular hemorrhage complicating ventricular catheter revision: incidence and effect on shunt survival.","volume":"22","author":"Brownlee","year":"1995"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"Pediatr Neurosci","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"216","DOI":"10.1159\/000120392","article-title":"A technique for removal of an adherent ventricular catheter.","volume":"14","author":"Chambi","year":"1988"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"506","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1968.29.5.0506","article-title":"Complications of ventriculo-arterial shunts.
