Hydrocephalus is a common condition of accumulation cerebral spinal fluid in the ventricular system. Generally, infants show with progressive macrocephaly or signs and symptoms intracranial hypertension. The shunt represents important treatment hydrocephalus. However, it can occur some complications. authors report case an accident catheter removal infant, which choroid plexus was removed by ac...

Shunt malfunction is a life-threatening cause of altered mental status and ventriculomegaly in patients with shunted hydrocephalus. While shunt should be highest on the differential for such patients, there may additional toxic/metabolic derangements that are contributing to their presentation not overlooked. Here we present case 41-year-old woman dependent hydrocephalus presenting intracranial...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hydrocephalus is an important complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We investigated the occurrence of acute hydrocephalus in a rat SAH model. METHODS SAH was induced by endovascular perforation in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=36). Sham rats (n=8) underwent the same procedure without perforation. MRI was performed 24 hours after SAH and the volume of the ve...

CNS toxoplasmosis presenting as hydrocephalus is a very rare entity. We present three cases of HIV positive patients whose brain imaging revealed hydrocephalus and who improved with anti toxoplasma medication along with intravenous steroids and did not require any CSF shunting procedures. The mechanism of hydrocephalus in CNS toxoplasmosis is usually due to compression of CSF outflow pathway by...

OBJECTIVES To determine the relative impact of hydrocephalus and spinal dysraphism in young adults on intellectual and cognitive functioning. Sub-groups of patients with congenital hydrocephalus and/or spina bifida were assessed between 1995 and 2003. The entry criteria were that individuals should have (i) intact global function, (ii) average verbal intelligence (or above), and (iii) should no...

Introduction: Arrested hydrocephalus is a state of chronic hydrocephalus with mild dilatation of the ventricles in which the cerebrospinal fluid pressure has returned to normal, and there is no pressure gradient between the cerebral ventricles and brain parenchyma. Case Report: In this case report, we present a 37-year-old female patient who was admitted to emergency department with complaints ...

Cranioplasty is a neurosurgical technique that replaces bone defect in the skull with hard replacement tissue. It indicated particular after decompressive craniectomy performed severe head trauma order to control intracranial hypertension refractory medical treatment. sometimes associated significant number of complications, including hydrocephalus. In this article, we report case cranioplasty ...

Hydrocephalus is one of the major neurological ailments drawing the attention of the neurosurgeon. The estimated incidence of congenital hydrocephalus in developed countries is 0.7 per 1000 live births. 1 Surgical options for diverting the CSF flow across the obstructive pathology has been a time tested method of treating this pathology. The modalities of CSF diversion have seen major refinemen...

Real-time computed sonography was used to monitor ventricular size in kittens with experimentally induced hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus was induced by cisternal kaolin injection in newborn kittens in order to study the effects of both hydrocephalus and subsequent ventriculoperitoneal shunting on the morphology of brain tissue. When severe hydrocephalus was achieved, marked physical and neurologi...
