TI  - A case of abdominal CSF pseudocyst associated with silicone allergy.
PG  - 761-4
AB  - CASE REPORT: The authors present a case of a patient with an abdominal CSF 
      pseudocyst that resulted from an allergic reaction to silicone. The patient 
      underwent repair surgery of the meningomyelocele associated with the Chiari II 
      malformation, and the V-P shunt was instituted at 6 months of age. A formation of 
      the abdominal CSF pseudocyst and the consequent shunt malfunction were observed 
      40 days after the V-P shunt. An increase in the number of the peripheral 
      eosinophils and serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), and an infiltration of eosinophils 
      in the specimen harvested from the pseudocyst wall suggested an allergic reaction 
      as the cause of the pseudocyst. A sixth operation to revise the V-P shunt was 
      performed using the shunt system made of "extracted silicone", which was produced 
      extracting the allergic substances. OUTCOME: The serum IgE was normalized after 
      surgery and the abdominal CSF pseudocyst has not recurred for 22 months.
