Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is one of the most common simple neurosurgical procedures. VP shunt catheters are made of silicone-coated Silastic tubes, which are made to be inert and hardly induce any reaction in normal tissue. We report a rare case of an extensive intracranial calcification of a VP shunt. This is a very rare case of a documented extensive calcification around the ventricular catheter of a VP shunt. We review the previously reported cases in the literature and present our management of the case. We discuss the possible mechanisms for such a dystrophic calcification around a VP shunt.
