Biventricular Hydrocephalus Secondary to Occlusion of Both Foramen of Monro
نویسنده
چکیده
The usual causes of obstruction at the foramen of Monro are neoplasm of the 3rd ventricle, ventriculitis, intraventricular haemorrhage, arteriovenous malformation, subependymal gliosis and overdrainage of one lateral ventricle following a shunt operation. resulting in functional occlusion of the foramen of Monro (1-4,7-11,13).Congenital atresia of the foramen of Monro is rare (12·14). Obstruction of one foramen of Monro results in unilateral hydrocephalus as an uncommon entity: biventricular hydrocephalus due to obstruction of both foramen of Monro is more rare.We report here one case of biventricular hydrocephalus in an adult presenting with raised intracranial pressure.

متن کاملHydrocephalus caused by unilateral foramen of Monro obstruction: A review on terminology
BACKGROUND Hydrocephalus caused by unilateral foramen of Monro (FM) obstruction has been referred to in literature by many different terminologies. Precise terminology describing hydrocephalus confined to just one lateral ventricle has a very important prognostic value and determines whether or not the patient can be shunt free after an endoscopic procedure. METHODS Aiming to define the best ...
متن کاملErratum: Intraventricular Cavernous Hemangiomas Located at the Foramen of Monro
Intraventricular cavernous hemangiomas are uncommon. Among them, those occurred at the foramen of Monro in the third ventricle may be of particular interest because of its rarity, development of hydrocephalus, being differentiated from other brain lesions. We present a rare case of intraventricular cavernous hemangioma at foramen of Monro which was resected through microsurgery and also review ...
