Abstract:
Third ventricle lesions, especially those located proximally to the foramen of Monro, generally present with obstructive hydrocephalus symptoms. In this report, we present a case with acute obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to a gel-foam material. The patient has previously underwent an endoscopic cystectomy. At postoperative third month, she admitted to our hospital with the complain of headache. Neuroradiological imaging revealed triventricular hydrocephalus. A second endoscopic operation was performed, and a piece of gelatin-sponge material was detected at the level of cerebral aqueduct, which obstructed the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The CSF flow was immediately restored after removing this material, and an additional third ventriculostomy was performed.
