[Lateral ventricle diverticulum as a variant of hydrocephalus evolution].

Hydrocephalus related to pulsion diverticulum of lateral ventricle.

Atrial ventricular diverticulum: sonographic diagnosis.

Diverticulum of the lateral ventricle is an uncommon occurrence in patients with hydrocephalus [1-5]. Confusing this entity with similar-appearing abnormalities such as arachnoid cysts , cystic neoplasms, or the trapped fourth ventricle must be avoided to ensure proper mangement [6-8]. Although the pathologic and CT features have been described [1] , the sonographic appearance is not widely kno...

A Rare Cause of Obstructive Chronic Hydrocephalus in an Adult Patient: A Case Report of Fourth Ventricle\'s Foramina Idiopathic Stenosis

Background & Importance: Idiopathic stenosis of the foramina of Magendie and Luschka is a rare cause of obstructive hydrocephalus involving the fourth ventricle. Case Presentation: We reported the case of a 40-year-old woman who developed headaches and vertigo for several months and more recently gait disturbance. The CT scan showed quadri-ventricular hydrocephalus involving mainly...

Subtentorial diverticulum of the third ventricle associated with a mural cavernous angioma in a child.

The authors describe a case of a large subtentorial supracollicular diverticulum of the third ventricle associated with a cavernous angioma in its wall in a 6-year-old girl who presented with developmental delay and obstructive hydrocephalus. This is the first case in which such association has been diagnosed and successfully treated. The literature is reviewed, and the possible relationship be...

Hydrocephalus 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 ...
