Summary

Diffuse villous hyperplasia of choroid plexus (DVHCP) is a rare condition causing enlarged choroid plexus and excess cerebrospinal fluid. Ventriculo-atrial shunt insertion offers an effective treatment for this rare hydrocephalus cause.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Diffuse villous hyperplasia of choroid plexus (DVHCP) is a rare condition characterized by diffuse enlargement of the entire choroid plexus.
  • This condition leads to overproduction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), resulting in hydrocephalus.

Observation:

  • Diagnosis is typically established via MRI, revealing diffusely enlarged, contrast-enhancing choroid plexus in patients with overproduction hydrocephalus.
  • This report details a case of DVHCP and reviews existing literature.

Findings:

  • The study highlights the rarity of DVHCP, with only 5 reported cases in the CT and MRI era.
  • Ventriculo-atrial shunt insertion is presented as a simple and effective treatment for DVHCP-associated hydrocephalus.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the limited understanding of DVHCP.
  • Effective management strategies, such as shunt insertion, are crucial for patients with this rare condition.
