The authors report the case of a 31-year-old man who developed neck pain and headache 2 months after the uncomplicated resection of a cervical schwannoma. MR imaging revealed infratentorial subdural fluid collections and obstructive hydrocephalus associated with cervical pseudomeningocele. The clinical symptoms, subdural fluid collections, and ventricular dilation resolved after surgical correction of the pseudomeningocele. This report emphasizes that hydrocephalus may be related to disorders of cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics induced by cervical pseudomeningocele. In these rare cases, both the hydrocephalus and the symptoms are resolved by the simple correction of the pseudomeningocele.

Endoscopic Fenestration

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Cysts of the septum pellucidum (CSPs) may become symptomatic because of obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid flow, resulting in increased intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus requiring surgical intervention. Endoscopic fenestration may be the most effective and least invasive technique to treat this pathological condition. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: An 11-year-old boy sought treatment for frequent episodes of severe headache. On examination, he had papilledema. There was evidence on magnetic resonance imaging scans of a space-occupying CSP with obstructive hydrocephalus. INTERVENTION: The endoscopic technique of fenestration of both lateral walls of an enlarged CSP via a left frontal approach under ultrasound guidance using a rigid endoscope was successful. After surgery, the patient became asymptomatic, his papilledema resolved, and magnetic resonance imaging scans demonstrated collapse of the walls of the CSP toward the midline. CONCLUSION: Neuroendoscopic fenestration should be strongly considered as the treatment of choice for symptomatic CSPs. This procedure alone can lead to complete resolution of clinical symptoms and hydrocephalus, can reduce the size of the CSP, and can obviate the need for an implantable cerebrospinal fluid shunt.

ObjectivesThis study presents a case report and literature review of acetazolamide use in the pregnant patient to further delineate its role and controversies in the treatment of symptomatic hydrocephalus. Here we present a case from our neurosurgical service which demonstrated safe use and efficacy of acetazolamide in refractory hydrocephalus secondary to a space-occupying lesion.DesignCase report and literature review.Subjects33-year-old, primigravid female treated at Charing Cross Hospital, London.MethodsAdaptation of the PRISMA guideline to facilitate an initial PubMed database search for all available full-text, peer-reviewed publications in English. Papers were screened for relevance to pregnant patients with hydrocephalus receiving acetazolamide therapy, as well as relevant papers describing related disorders of cerebrospinal fluid flow.ResultsThere exist no prospective, randomised-controlled trials for the use of acetazolamide to treat hydrocephalus in pregnancy. Retrospective data in patients with related conditions suggest no significant link between acetazolamide use and teratogenicity in humans.ConclusionsAcetazolamide can be a safe and efficacious therapy in the pregnant patient with refractory hydrocephalus as a bridge to delivery. We agree with the consensus and its appropriate use in the pregnant neurosurgical patient.
