The infection of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt is one of most frequent complications for this procedure. Vibrio choleraO1 and O139 is a Gram negative bacteria known mainly for being responsible of the epidemic cholera, however, there are serotypes no O1/ no O139 capable of causing extraintestinal conditions, among them neuroinfection cases have been reported. We present the case of a 9 months old patient who after the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt as treatment for connate obstructive hydrocephalus, presents a neuroinfection condition and valve malfunction syndrome, being able to isolate the Vibrio cholerae no O1/ no O139 in the cerebrospinal fluid and the tip of the catheter. It is the first report in the literature in which the Vibrio cholerae no O1/ no O139 is isolated in the cerebrospinal liquid secondary to an infection from a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
