A REVERSE BRAIN HERNIATION (RBH) AFTER VENTRICULOPERITONEAL SHUNT (VP) IN POSTERIOR FOSSA TUMOUR WITH OBSTRUCTIVE HYDROCEPHALUS

A reverse brain herniation (RBH) after ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VP) in posterior fossa tumour with obstructive hydrocephalus

The risk of hydrocephalus in posterior fossa tumour is quite high (71- 90%), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion procedures like ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and external ventricular drainage (EVD) are emergency procedures and may improve symptoms like headache and vomiting.However, post-operative deterior
