Acute Obstructive Hydrocephalus

1994
In 1842, Magendie studied the anatomy of the meninges in the posterior fossa and spinal cord and postulated occlusion as a possible cause of hydrocephalus. Further work by Key and Retzius, published in their classic article in 1875, supported this concept. In 1881, Wernicke first described puncture of the ventricles (VP).

Reversible Obstructive Hydrocephalus from Hypertensive Encephalopathy

Neurocritical Care, 2012
Diffuse edema involving the posterior fossa may be seen with hypertensive encephalopathy and has rarely been reported to cause hydrocephalus. We present three such cases and review the literature to better delineate this uniquely reversible syndrome.Case reports and review of literature.Three patients with hypertensive encephalopathy presented to our ...

Ventriculo-aerocele secondary to obstructive hydrocephalus

Acta Neurochirurgica, 1978
Two cases of spontaneous ventriculo-aerocele are described. Both patients were eighteen years old and had previously been treated for obstructive hydrocephalus by Torkildsen's bypass, eleven and thirteen years before.

Cavernous haemangioma presenting with obstructive hydrocephalus

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2005
With the development of MRI, the natural history of cavernous haemangiomas has been appreciated. This article describes a series of patients with deep cavernous haemangiomas who have presented with acute hydrocephalus. The diagnosis and treatment options are discussed with a review of the literature.

[Extraventricular obstructive hydrocephalus].

Fortschritte der Neurologie-Psychiatrie, 1995
In extraventricular obstructive hydrocephalus (EVOH) there is an impaired outflow from the subarachnoid space usually at the level of the basal cisterns or arachnoid granulations. Subarachnoid haemorrhage, suppurative meningitis, and neoplastic or inflammatory exudates may fibrose or occlude the subarachnoid space.

Obstructive Hydrocephalus from Venous Sinus Thrombosis

Neurocritical Care, 2008
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare form of stroke. Although increased intracranial pressure is a well-described complication of CVST, hydrocephalus has rarely been reported.We present the case of a 49-year-old woman who presented with one week of headache, vomiting, and progressive neurologic deterioration leading to coma.

Non-Obstructive Unilateral Hydrocephalus

Journal of Mental Science, 1944
Cases of unilateral hydrocephalus not due to obstruction of the foramen of Monro are rare, and not more than a dozen accounts of such cases have been published. The Journal of Mental Science of July, 1940 (pp. 591–601), contains a paper by R. M. Stewart which gives an excellent review of cases previously published, including two cases of his own.
