Does anyone has experience with ventriculoperitoneal shunt to the gallbladder in adults?

13 January 2015 1 2K Report

HIV patient with multiple revisions of ventriculoperitoneal shunt due to encapsulation and cysts formation.

Due to fungal meningitis the neurosurgeon doesn't want to reposition in the atrium.

Just kind of curious why you want to put the tip into gallbladder? Can you do external drainage to control the fungal meningitis first?
