  ABSTRACT: We are describing a case of a female infant with ventriculoperitoneal shunt scheduled for inguinal hernia repair under spinal anesthesia. The child was a premature newborn who, in a recent past, underwent surgery in general anesthesia for retinopathy correction with subsequent difficult mechanical ventilation weaning. The benefit of spinal anesthesia in high-risk infant was described and the risks of spinal anesthesia in the presence of a ventricular shunt device-especially dural leakage and infections were briefly discussed.
