Supratentorial arachnoidal cyst associated with hydrocephalus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supratentorial arachnoidal cysts are usually associated with signs of fracture of the skull but hydrocephalus has not been reported in connexion with such cysts. In none of the 18 cases reviewed by Tiberin and Gruszkiewicz (1961) was hydrocephalus found. A 3-year-old child was recently seen with signs of hydrocephalus and a large arachnoidal cyst of the right cerebral hemisphere. The rarity of such an association warrants this report.

متن کاملCSF Flow in the Brain in the Context of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.
CSF normally flows back and forth through the aqueduct during the cardiac cycle. During systole, the brain and intracranial vasculature expand and compress the lateral and third ventricles, forcing CSF craniocaudad.
