abstract="INTRODUCTION: We report a case of shunt malfunction after a child was subjected to G forces during a roller coaster ride. <br><br>DISCUSSION: The temporal sequence of events suggests proximal catheter obstruction with subsequent symptoms of raised intracranial pressure immediately after experience with a G force ride. A shunt revision with catheter change led to resolution of symptoms, and findings were consistent with hemorrhage within the catheter. <br><br>CONCLUSION: This case illustrates the risks of such an experience on children with shunts and the implications for patient counseling.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
