METHODS
A 45-year-old woman with a history of seizures, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and decreased visual acuity of 5 years. Visual field detected a bitemporal heteronymous hemianopia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed basal cistern arachnoiditis and supratentorial hydrocephalus. Cranial computed
Gamma-Knife radiosurgery can be the treatment of choice for small cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in eloquent brain areas or, in association with endovascular treatment, for large and complex AVMs. Among the possible delayed complications occurring after radiosurgery of Dandy-Walker syndrome (DWS) is a congenital brain malformation involving the cerebellum and fourth ventricle. We report a 6-month-old girl with DWS presenting an initially normal ventricular system and mild cyst-like lesion over the posterior fossa as assessed by postnatal brain sonography. However,
Infants with acute hydrocephalus often present with nonspecific neurological signs, and cystic choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) is a very rare cause of acute obstructive hydrocephalus. The authors present the case of a 1-year-old girl who became irritable, started vomiting, and became comatose within
UNASSIGNED
Hydrocephalus is a treatable but potentially fatal complication that has not been previously described in congenial Zika syndrome (CZS).
UNASSIGNED
To describe the clinical features and imaging findings in 24 patients with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) who developed
Neurocysticercosis is endemic in the developing world, but is becoming more common in the US due to immigration. A 24-year-old man presented with acute hydrocephalus and headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Head CT revealed a 3rd ventricular cyst and immunological studies were suggestive of
Background: Choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) are a type of neuroepithelial cysts, benign lesions located more frequently in the supratentorial compartment. Symptomatic CPCs in the posterior fossa are extremely rare and can be associated with
We present a case report of a 41-year-old man with an acute headache and hydrocephalus caused by the dermoid cyst. The dermoid cyst of the third brain ventricle caused an acute hydrocephalus and an increased intracranial pressure (with neurological signs such as nausea, vomiting, oedema papilae n.
Ependymal cysts are generally located in the cerebral parenchyma but rarely found in the third ventricle. A 4-year-old boy presented with headache, vomiting, and upward gaze palsy. His consciousness gradually deteriorated in the course of 6 h. A magnetic resonance imaging study disclosed dilation of
The great variability of clinical appearance is one of the main features of superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. However, hydrocephalus associated with cerebral sinus thrombosis is rare. We report on a patient presented with thunderclap headache, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness.
OBJECTIVE
Intracranial hypotension may have variable clinical presentation. The imaging characteristics of intracranial hypotension are especially well depicted on magnetic resonance imaging studies. Although the clinical and radiological manifestations of spontaneous intracranial hypotension are
OBSTRUCTIVE: hydrocephalus due to giant basilar artery (BA) aneurysm is a rare finding, and endoscopic treatment has not been reported. Here the authors present their experience with endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in obstructive hydrocephalus due to giant BA aneurysm. Between December 2000
Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare cerebellar disorder characterized by diffuse or focal enlargement of cerebellar folia. Clinical manifestations are usually related to a mass effect and secondary obstructive hydrocephalus. Increased intracranial pressure symptoms and cerebellar symptoms are
OBJECTIVE
Currently, headache, nausea/vomiting, visual changes, and altered mental status are accepted as indications for the evaluation of hydrocephalus in children; while dementia, gait apraxia, and urinary incontinence remain indications in the elderly. The clinical presentation of hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by insidious onset and gradual development of the triad of gait disturbance, dementia, and urinary incontinence. Nausea, vomiting, and signs of increased intracranial pressure do not occur. A 71-year-old male patient was scheduled for total knee
