Abstract

An unusual case of proximal migration of a Hakim's valve intracranially into a porencephalic cyst two years after insertion of the ventriculo-peritoneal shunt in a neonate is reported. The underlying cause is discussed. It is recommended that all shunt should be anchored with nonabsorbable suture material properly on to the pericranium.
