Resumo

A 15-year-old girl with a congenital heart disease (pulmonary stenosis and aortic insufficiency), who had a ventriculoperitoneal shunt operation because of hydrocephalus internus at the age of two years, 12 years later underwent colectomy because of juvenile colonic polyposis. After this operation, enormous production of ascites began which, because of progressive development, finally required ventriculoatrial shunt operation. A total volume of 17 liters of fluid was removed in two ascites drainages before and during the latter operation. Postoperatively the ascites production stopped completely.
