Entrapment of the temporal horn: a form of focal non-communicating hydrocephalus caused by intraventricular block of cerebrospinal fluid flow--report of two cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In two cases of entrapment of the temporal horn, computed tomography demonstrated the typical appearance of a comma-shaped homogeneous area isodense with water surrounded by a periventricular low-density area. The cause was probably choroid plexitis resulting in obstruction of the cerebrospinal fluid pathway at the atrium. External drainage followed by shunt emplacement is indicated.

Entrapment of the temporal horn: a form of focal obstructive hydrocephalus.
Three cases of a form of focal hydrocephalus are described which the authors term "entrapment of the temporal horn". Obstruction of one lateral ventricle in the region of the trigone isolates the temporal horn. Continued secretion of cerebrospinal fluid within the temporal horn causes it to behave as a mass lesion. In the cases described the causes of the condition were recurrent glioma, previo...
متن کاملMigrating intraventricular cysticercosis: magnetic resonance imaging findings.
Dr. Emerson L. Gasparetto – Rua Lopes Trovão 88 / 1702B 24110-071 Niterói RJ Brasil. Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic infestation affecting the central nervous system (CNS). It is frequent cause of seizures and hydrocephalus in adults from endemic regions, including Brazil. Brain parenchymal involvement occurs in 60 to 92% of patients with NCC, but intraventricular (IV) les...
متن کاملImaging examinations in children with hydrocephalus.
Hydrocephalus is characterized by an imbalance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) formation and absorption. It is manifested as a dilatation of the ventricular system. About 55% of all hydrocephalus cases have congenital origin. There are two types of hydrocephalus: communicating and non-communicating with subarachnoid space and the diagnosis depends on the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic reson...
متن کاملDementia paralytica: deterioration from communicating hydrocephalus.
Five patients suffering from dementia paralytica who failed to improve or deteriorated after one or several high dosage courses of penicillin, had pneumoencephalographic patterns suggesting communicating hydrocephalus. Measurements of the ventricular index, ratio of cella media to width of the temporal horn, and the callosal angle differed from that in seven cases of dementia paralytica with as...
متن کاملCerebral tumour causing hydrocephalus with filling defect of the temporal horn.
The important diagnostic significance of filling defects of the temporal horn is well illustrated in the two cases here described. Both patients were middle-aged men with few neurological signs but with raised intracranial pressure and a moderate increase in cerebrospinal fluid cells and protein. In both cases the local cerebral symptomatology indicated a diencephalic disturbance. Ventriculogra...
