case_images: Plain radiographs of the abdomen (Fig. 1A) showed the presence of the distal VPS catheter in his right hemiscrotum. Computerized tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen (Fig. 1B-D) confirmed a coiled ventriculoperitoneal catheter which had migrated inside an inguinal hernia.
case_images: A, CT head immediately after insertion of the VPS. B, CT head upon presentation with hydrocoele, 4 months after VPS insertion, denoting unchanged ventricular calibre.

case_images: CT scan imaging of the head showed similar ventricular caliber to that on VPS insertion (Fig. 2).
case_images: Postoperative radiographs in lateral (A) and anteroposterior (B) projections showing truncation and adequate placement of the distal shunt catheter.
