ABSTRACT
Germinomas frequently cause hydrocephalus, and ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPS) have been commonly used for their management. Although VPS can potentially serve as a route for peritoneal dissemination of germinomas, the abdominal imaging characteristics of this rare yet important complication remain unknown. In this article, we report the computed tomography imaging findings of diffuse peritoneal dissemination of intracranial germinoma.
