A case of pulmonary edema and anuria with fatal outcome after insertion of a LeVeen peritoneovenous shunt is reported. It was proved at autopsy that the shunt was draining a voluminous ovarian cystic carcinoma into the superior vena cava. Abdominal ultrasound scanning is recommended in patients selected for shunt surgery to avoid this complication.
