    Summary

    Adults experiencing hydrocephalus due to non-neoplastic Sylvian aqueduct narrowing can present with new symptoms later in life. This study details the clinical features and investigations in 55 such adult cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Hydrocephalus, characterized by excess cerebrospinal fluid, can arise from various causes.
    • The Sylvian aqueduct, a critical pathway for CSF flow, can become narrowed non-neoplastically.
    • Late-onset hydrocephalus in adults presents diagnostic challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation and diagnostic findings in adult patients with hydrocephalus secondary to non-neoplastic Sylvian aqueduct narrowing.
    • To analyze the specific features of this condition in a cohort of adult-onset cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis of 55 adult patients.
    • Review of clinical histories, neurological examinations, and neuroimaging findings.
    • Correlation of clinical symptoms with anatomical abnormalities.

    Main Results:

    • Fifty-five adult cases of hydrocephalus linked to non-neoplastic Sylvian aqueduct stenosis were identified.
    • Patients presented with diverse neurological symptoms indicative of increased intracranial pressure.
    • Neuroimaging confirmed aqueductal stenosis and associated ventricular enlargement.

    Conclusions:

    • Non-neoplastic Sylvian aqueduct narrowing is a significant cause of adult-onset hydrocephalus.
    • Early recognition of clinical features and prompt investigation are crucial for diagnosis.
    • Management strategies should address the underlying stenosis and resulting hydrocephalus.
