Bilateral indirect inguinal hernias. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt terminates in right inguinal hernia. [Abdominal] [CT]

45 year old with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) for history of toxoplasmosis. Incidental finding - no symptoms.

CT shows bilateral groin fluid collections. The right fluid collection contains the distal loops and tip of the VPS. So, just an incidental bit of cerebrospinal fluid in the groin.

Thanks! I really appreciate it! Just trying to keep a steady stream of 1-2/day going until I get critical mass here for other people to regularly contribute.

I’m glad there were no symptoms, because that sounds painful
