Acute appendicitis in children with ventriculoperitoneal shunts can be misdiagnosed and mismanaged. The peritoneal catheter should be removed only after injection with contrast material shows that there is no perforation of the bowel. If the abdominal symptoms do not subside within 4 to 6 hours following removal of the catheter and the beginning of antibiotic treatment, a laparotomy is indicated. Shunt dependency should be evaluated following appendectomy.
