• Ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery is the most widely used procedure in the treatment of hydrocephalus. However, this invasive procedure has been associated with several delayed complications. A 64-year-old male had unusual pneumonia caused by diaphragm perforation due to a ventriculoperitoneal (V-P) shunt catheter 3 years after V-P shunting for secondary normal pressure hydrocephalus after thalamic hemorrhage. Aspiration of hydrothorax of cerebrospinal fluid and removal of the catheter is the only treatment option for patients to alleviate such a lethal pneumonia. Probable causes of this rare complication are discussed, and attention is drawn to the possibility of its appearance and early recognition of respiratory distress.
