Interhemispheric neuroepithelial cyst associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum. A case report and review of the literature.

abstract：OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE:Complications arising from the placement of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts are well documented. A case of infertility is presented that was thought to result from factors related to the distal end of a VP shunt residing within a patient's abdomen. CLINICAL PRESENTATION:A 30-year-old female w...
