Background:Hepatic pseudocysts are not a common complication andextrahepaticpseudocysts are rarer complications but may occur in every ventriculo-peritoneal shunt patient.Case presentation:We present two patients with ventriculo peritoneal shunt induced extrahepatic pseudocysts, who underwent shunt surgery for different etiologies. Etiology, treatment strategies and our choice of treatment have been discussed.Conclusions:When a ventriculoperitoneal shunt patient is presented with non-specific abdominal symptoms, the possibility of this complication should always be considered. In the treatment of this complication, it is shown that repositioning the catheter is sufficient for cyst regression.
