Symptoms 6 months of evolution characterized by uncontrollable crying spells associated with marked sweating, no fixed hours and several hours. Abdominal ultrasonography shows suprahepatic abdominal pseudocyst. Treated by laparoscopic technique with release of peritoneal catheter drainage of the cyst and repositioning of peritoneal catheter in another quadrant. The abdominal pseudocyst is a rare complication of ventricular-peritoneal shunts and should be suspected in patients with abdominal pain.
