| Popis: | Breast augmentation is among the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the United States. As these patients age or develop comorbidities, surgeons across many other disciplines will inevitably encounter these patients in their own practices. Consequently, surgeons must be aware of the potential interactions between breast implants and devices commonly used in their fields. This case, the second of its kind encountered by our own department, describes a woman who suffered one such interaction: migration and coiling of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt around her breast implant. A systematic review was conducted to characterize breast-related ventriculoperitoneal shunt complications reported in the literature and generate an algorithm for management of the most commonly reported scenarios. Recognition of potential complications will aid surgeons in appropriate operative planning and prevention of these adverse events. |
