Acute unilateral hydrocephalus resulting from oedematous occlusion of foramen of Monro: complication of intraventricular surgery.

Biventricular Hydrocephalus Secondary to Occlusion of Both Foramen of Monro

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). Obstructi...

Neuroendoscopic surgery for unilateral hydrocephalus due to inflammatory obstruction of the Monro foramen.

OBJECTIVE Unilateral hydrocephalus (UH) is characterized by enlargement of just one lateral ventricle. In this paper, the authors will demonstrate their experiences in the neuroendoscopic management of this uncommon type of hydrocephalus. METHOD The authors retrospectively reviewed a series of almost 800 neuroendoscopic procedures performed from September 1995 to July 2010 and selected seven ...

Erratum: 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 ...

Acute unilateral hydrocephalus caused by a small intracerebral hemorrhage obstructing the foramen of Monro.

Endoscope-assisted resection of cavernous angioma at the foramen of Monro: a case report

INTRODUCTION Intraventricular cavernous angiomas are rare pathological entities, and those located at the foramen of Monro are even rarer. We herein present a case of cavernous angioma at the foramen of Monro that was successfully treated by neuroendoscope-assisted surgical removal, and review the relevant literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 65-year-old woman had experienced headache and vomiting...
