  ABSTRACT: An abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Several theories have been suggested to explain its occurrence. The main symptoms are painful abdominal distension and vomiting, abdominal distension on examination, as abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography confirm its diagnosis. The treatment involves drainage associated with drain relocation and resection of the pseudocyst’s wall. We report two patients diagnosed with this condition who underwent surgical treatment. The first patient had an unremarkable 12-month follow-up, while the second died on the seventh postoperative day due to intravascular disseminated coagulation. In these patients, the cause has not been identified; however, an infection cannot be ruled out.
