Two male patients from one family are reported, who are affected with congenital hydrocephalus, mental retardation, short stature, obesity and hypogenitalism. Most probably the mode of inheritance is X-linked recessive.
A case is presented of 14 year old female with hypothalamic obesity due to hydrocephalus caused by aqueductal stenosis. Evidence of hypothalamic obesity included 1) acute hyperphagia and weight gain, 2) neuroradiology showed hydrocephalus with focal enlargement of the third ventricle, 3)
Among the various endocrine manifestations of chronic hydrocephaly, amenorrhea is not exceptional, whereas late puberty and obesity are the most frequent. The hypothalamic gonadotropic function usually returns to normal within the few months following the ventricular shunt.
METHODS
A 16 year-old
OBJECTIVE
There is some evidence from previous studies that idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) of the elderly might be linked to vascular leukoencephalopathy. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence and impact of vascular risk factors and vascular diseases in idiopathic
OBJECTIVE
Thinning of the tegmen tympani and mastoideum components of the temporal bone may predispose to the development of meningoencephaloceles and spontaneous CSF leaks. Surgical repair of these bony defects and associated meningoencephaloceles aids in the prevention of progression and
OBJECTIVE Congenital hydrocephalus (CH) is one of the most frequent CNS congenital malformations, representing an entity with serious pathological consequences. Although several studies have previously assessed child-related risk factors associated with CH development, there is a gap of knowledge on
Over the past 50 years, various shunting procedures involving the peritoneum have been performed for the treatment of hydrocephalus. During placement of the peritoneal portion of the catheter, complications may arise secondary to a lack of direct visualization. We describe a reduced complication
BACKGROUND
Although rare, chronic hydrocephalus may cause amenorrhea and delayed puberty associated with obesity as the main endocrine manifestations. Since the first operation carried out in 1950 on a patient with amenorrhea and hydrocephalus, fewer than 30 patients with these features have been
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate growth and to compare anthropometric measures and the degree of physical maturation in children with shunted hydrocephalus with those in healthy children.
METHODS
One hundred fourteen patients (62 male) and 73 healthy subjects (38 male) 5 to 20 years of age were analyzed for
The purpose of this study was to systematically assess and synthesize the world literature on risk factors for the onset and natural progression of hydrocephalus, thereby providing a basis for policy makers to identify appropriate risk management measures to mitigate the burden of disease in Canada.
A Caucasian female, aged 28 years, presenting with obesity and investigated for primary amenorrhoea, was found to have hydrocephalus due to a stenosis of the foramen of Magendie. Endocrine investigations showed an isolated gonadotrophin deficiency. Complete recovery was obtained by a
Endocrinological findings were identified in 60% of 90 shunted patients with an isolated hydrocephalus, namely dwarfism in one third and abnormal proportions, obesity, sexual precocity and various combinations in 9-15%. Different causes of these findings were observed. But none of the cases had a
Disendocrine manifestations during aqueductal stenosis are more and more frequently reported in literature. In the present study, 20 cases of benign aqueductal stenosis associated with disendocrine features as amenorrhea, obesity, polydipsia and polyuria, dwarfism, acromegalic features,
