Evacuation Of Fourth Ventricle Hematoma Without Hydrocephalus: Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Massive fourth ventricle hemorrhage obstructs cerebrospinal fluid pathways and can also cause compression of the brain stem. In this report, a 5-year-old girl with fourth ventricle haemorrhage compressing the brain stem is presented. The fourth ventricle haemorrhage was evacuated surgically and the patient showed significant postoperative improvement. Massive fourth ventricle hemorrhage can directly cause brain stem compression and result in poor neurological status without significant contribution from a hydrocephalus. In the presence of brain stem compression, fourth ventricle hemorrhage should be considered for operative evacuation. This study was performed at Department of Neurosurgery, Dokuz Eylül University Medical Faculty, Izmir-Turkey
