We report the case of a female patient of 17 years old carrying a shunt since 16 years who was received for retro auricular suppuration facing the intra ventricular drain and whom cerebral CT-Scan shows a right hemispheric calcified empyema. A large craniotomy was realized in the same time than an external ventricular drain. Evolution was marked by minor right body motor troubles and seizures. Difficulties we have faced during the management are a reminder about morbidity due to the insertion of a ventriculo peritoneal shunt and the need of and long term follow up for the carriers.展开更多
