    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Spontaneous cerebral ventriculostium is a rare condition involving an abnormal opening in the brain's ventricles.
    • Hydrocephalus, characterized by excess cerebrospinal fluid, can result from or be associated with this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report and analyze two unique cases of spontaneous cerebral ventriculostium.
    • To discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of this rare condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report analysis of two patients diagnosed with spontaneous cerebral ventriculostium.
    • Review of clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • In one case, diagnosis was achieved during life, but the ventriculostium did not alleviate hydrocephalus.

  • The second case presented with a large posterior skull defect, acting as a natural outlet and stabilizing hydrocephalus after initial progression.

    • Conclusions:

    • Spontaneous cerebral ventriculostium presents diagnostic and management challenges.
    • The presence of natural or surgical cerebrospinal fluid pathways can influence hydrocephalus progression and stability.
