Communicating fourth ventricular hydrocephalus: case report.

N Aoki

    Neurosurgery
    |May 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A rare case of communicating 4th ventricular hydrocephalus in an infant is detailed. A 4th ventricle-peritoneum shunt effectively treated supratentorial hypertension when a lateral ventricular shunt failed.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Medical Case Studies

    Background:

    • Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulation within the brain's ventricles.
    • Obstructive hydrocephalus, often due to aqueductal stenosis, requires prompt management to prevent neurological damage.

    Observation:

    • An infant presented with hydrocephalic enlargement of the 4th ventricle and dilated basal cisterns.
    • Despite a functioning lateral ventricular shunt, the infant developed supratentorial hypertension, indicated by a tense fontanelle.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic imaging revealed occlusion of the aqueduct of Sylvius and subarachnoid spaces.
    • A subsequent 4th ventricle-peritoneum shunt led to 4th ventricle shrinkage and resolved supratentorial hypertension.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a unique pathological entity: communicating 4th ventricular hydrocephalus.
    • Successful surgical intervention underscores the importance of targeted CSF diversion in complex hydrocephalus cases.
    • Further research may clarify the specific etiology and long-term outcomes of this condition.
