However, it has been associated with several complications. Herein, we report penetration of VP shunt into the transverse colon and anal extrusion in a 5-year-old child who was a case of congenital hydrocephalus. The patient underwent laparotomy. The tube was palpated to be in the sigmoid colon. The shunting tube was removed and transverse colon was repaired. https://crcp.tums.ac.ir/index.php/crcp/article/view/103 https://crcp.tums.ac.ir/index.php/crcp/article/download/103/72
