Descrição: Background The ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the gold-standard surgical technique to treat hypertensive hydrocephalus; however, it may fail in 20 to 70% of cases. The present study shows an alternative for patients with contraindications to VPS. Methods A case series of nine patients. The medical records of all patients under 17 years of age who underwent ventriculo-gallbladder (VGB) shunt at a pediatric hospital from January 2014 to October 2022 were reviewed. Results There were 6 (66.7%) males and 3 (33.3%) females. The average age of 73.6 months or 6.1 years at the time of surgery. They had undergone, on average, 5.1 VPS reviews before the VGB shunt. Five (55.5%) had complications of VGB shunt: infection (11.1%), atony (11.1%), hypodrainage (11.1%), and ventriculoenteric fistula (22.2%); all these patients got better at surgical reapproach, and in two of them, the VGB shunt was re-implanted. Conclusion This case series shows a lower risk of death and a similar risk of complications compared to other alternative shunts. This article spotlighted VGB as a viable alternative when VPS fails or has contraindications.
