Abstract
A 29-year-old woman in childbed, presented with obstruction hydrocephalus due to a cerebellar spongioblastoma, was treated by ventriculo-peritoneal shunting. The peritoneal spring catheter used in this procedure caused a perforation of the liver capsule. The type and length of a catheter appropriate to such a case are discussed.
