Résumé

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the most common procedure done for hydrocephalus in the paediatric population. While shunt infection and shunt malfunction remain the most common complications, shunt migration is not frequently observed. Being present in a large peritoneal cavity, theoretically, a shunt can travel to a variety of locations. Even among these, scrotal migration is quite uncommon. This case highlights the significance of keeping this possibility in mind while evaluating a case of shunt malfunction. It also discusses various nuances of surgically managing scrotal migration.
