    Abstract: Ventricular peritoneal derivations may determine conditions in the tissues, which may then create fibrous tissues around them. They include cases with catheters of the SEM and they show that when the fibrous tissues are formed, the outer surface is irregular. However, they are not determined through phystolosis or irregularity inside the surface.
