Communicating hydrocephalus may complicate infantile bacterial meningitis, typically presenting with systemic features of infection. We report a rare case of ‘subclinical meningoventriculitis’ causing ...
MRI of the brain was done at 20 hours of life and showed dilated lateral ventricles with intraventricular and germinal matrix haemorrhage, along with obstructive hydrocephalus (figure 1). Haemogram ...
This typically causes an obstructive or non-communication hydrocephalus. A shunt has been customarily placed to drain CSF from a lateral ventricle through a pressure regulating valve and into the ...
This review summarizes and discusses key mechanisms that may be involved in the pathogenesis of hydrocephalus at both the genetic and molecular levels. While obstructive hydrocephalus can often be ...
According to Qureshi et al. (2001), acute neurological deterioration can usually be attributed to an increase in the size of the hematoma or obstructive hydrocephalus, whereas delayed worsening is ...
Conditions of altered CSF dynamics include obstructive and non-obstructive hydrocephalus and may be associated with headaches and/or decreased cognitive function. Similarly, patient’s with impaired ...
We present the case of a healthy 10‐year‐old girl who developed obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to a ruptured AVM, with an interesting anatomical contribution from arterial feeders originating in ...
These included an acute subdural hematoma from venous extravasation, cases of both intraprocedural and delayed stent thrombosis, an ultimately fatal cerebellar hemorrhage resulting in acute ...
