Ventriculo-peritoneal shunting is the most common pediatric neurosurgical procedure. Although Shunt failure is unfortunately quite common, knotting of an intraperitoneal end of shunt tubing is very rare. We report three cases of in vivo knotting in different body cavities and possible methods to remove the catheters. ER -
