Subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracereebral hematoma following lumboperitoneal shunt for pseudotumor cerebri: a rare complication. Neurology India. 2002 Dec; 50(4): 508-10http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/12027719 references.Placement of lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt as a surgical treatment for benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) is generally a safe procedure, with complications like mechanical failure, overdrainage and infections. Subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hematoma were seen after lumboperitoneal shunt in a patient having BIH. These complications were the cause of the patient's deterioration. After removal of the hematoma and performing a decompressive procedure, patient's neurological condition improved. The clinical features, investigations and clinical course are described and the literature reviewed.engAdultFemaleHematoma --etiologyHumansPseudotumor Cerebri --surgerySubarachnoid Hemorrhage --etiologyVentriculoperitoneal Shunt --adverse effectsCase Reports
