Supratentorial arachnoidal cyst associated with hydrocephalus.
Supratentorial arachnoidal cysts are usually associated with signs of fracture of the skull but hydrocephalus has not been reported in connexion with such cysts. In none of the 18 cases reviewed by Tiberin and Gruszkiewicz (1961) was hydrocephalus found. A 3-year-old child was recently seen with signs of hydrocephalus and a large arachnoidal cyst of the right cerebral hemisphere. The rarity of ...
متن کاملObstructive hydrocephalus in childhood.
The differential diagnosis of obstructive hydrocephalus in childhood involves a consideration of two main groups of cases, cerebellar tumours and obstructive lesions of a non-neoplastic nature. The most common of the non-neoplastic conditions are stenosis of the aqueduct of Silvius and obliteration of the outlet of the fourth ventricle. In the literature on obstructive hydrocephalus the radiolo...
متن کاملDiffusion imaging in obstructive hydrocephalus.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hydrocephalus causes transependymal resorption of spinal fluid that in turn produces periventricular interstitial edema. This study was performed to determine if diffusion imaging can demonstrate this interstitial edema in the periventricular region in patients with obstructive hydrocephalus and if it can be used to assess the treatment response. METHODS Twenty-one pati...
متن کاملFourth Ventricle Choroid Plexus Xanthogranuloma Causing Hydrocephalus.
Xanthogranulomas of the choroid plexus are discovered incidentally on autopsy in 1.6 to 7% of cases, and are typically found in the lateral ventricles. Very rarely, however, they can become symptomatic because of obstruction of the ventricular system, and these tend to be found in the third ventricle. There has only been one published case of fourth ventricle choroid plexus xanthogranuloma. We ...
متن کاملSmall supratentorial, extraaxial primitive neuroectodermal tumor causing large intracerebral hematoma.
A 16-year-old boy presented with an unusual case of a supratentorial, extraaxial small round blue cell tumor of the central nervous system, which was most likely a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large multistage hematoma in the left central region. Intraoperatively, a small, superficial tumorous lesion was found b...
