Summary

This study details lesions in four patients with severe internal hydrocephalus after prolonged coma. Chronic increased intraventricular pressure likely caused these changes, including demyelination.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Pathology

Context:

Post-traumatic complications following severe head injury.
Prolonged post-traumatic coma.
Cerebrospinal fluid dynamics.

Purpose:

To describe pathological lesions in patients with post-traumatic internal hydrocephalus.
To investigate the potential causes of these lesions.

Summary:

Four cases of severe internal hydrocephalus following prolonged post-traumatic coma were analyzed.
Lesions included internal hydrocephalus and periventricular white matter demyelination.
Chronic elevation of intraventricular pressure, possibly due to impaired cerebrospinal fluid circulation and resorption, is implicated.

Impact:
