    Notes: Summary Three cases with unusual complications of shunting procedures are reported. These were migration of the peritoneal catheter into the mediastinum following an operation for a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, extrusion of the peritoneal catheter through a well-healed abdominal incision in an adult following a VP shunt operation, and migration of the subdural catheter into the brain substance causing increased intracranial pressure following a subduroperitoneal shunt operation. The possible mechanisms leading to the two migrations and the extrusion are discussed.

    Notes: Summary A case of primary leptomeningeal malignant melanoma in a 45-year-old woman is reported. The tumour was located at the basal aspect of the brain with a larger aggregation in the left parasellar and cerebello-pontine angle regions. The tumour showed not only spinal meningeal dissemination but also infiltration into the petrous bone and along the trigeminal nerve till it reached the submucosal tissue of epipharynx. There are a few reported cases of primary leptomeningeal melanoma which invaded areas outside the central nervous system.
