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
Cerebral hydrodynamics complications in shunted patients are due to the malfunction of the system. The objective of this retrospective, single-center, single-arm cohort study is to confirm the safety and performance of Sphera® Duo when used in adult patients suffering from Congenital membranous obstruction of the apertura mediana ventriculi quartii (foramen of Magendie) is a rare entity, as only 8 adult cases are mentioned in all medical literature. We report here the cases of 2 patients (35 and 68 year-old) with chronic hydrocephalus due to congenital membranous
A 52-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of nausea, headache, ataxic gait, and memory disturbance. CT scans and MRI showed a markedly enhanced lesion in the dura mater of the posterior fossa, edema in the right cerebellar hemisphere, occlusion of the transverse sinus, and
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
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
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
The pathophysiology and optimal treatment for hydrocephalus with Blake's pouch cyst (BPC) remain controversial. The authors present two pediatric cases of hydrocephalus associated with BPC, in which the patients' hydrocephalus progressed after endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), despite a patent
A 40-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of headache, nausea and vomiting, with generalised seizures for the past 15 days. On examination he had bilateral papilloedema, visual acuity was 6/6 in both eyes but perimetry showed right homonymous inferior quadrantanopia. His MRI showed numerous
BACKGROUND
Cysticercosis, due to the parasite Taenia solium, can involve any organ. When central nervous system infection occurs, signs and symptoms depend on the location of the cerebral lesions. Most patients develop seizures, focal symptoms, or headaches with nausea and vomiting.
