RESUMO
A peritoneojugular shunt operation was done in a cirrhotic patient with ascites. The Le Veen valve functioned correctly for six months. The patient then experienced recurrence of ascites following an uncommon complication: migration of the shunt tubing into the peritoneal cavity. The tubing could no longer be felt in the cervical or thoracic regions. Plain roentgenograms of the abdomen showed that the shunt tubing was in the peritoneal cavity.
