[External and internal hydrocephalus caused by an arteriovenous malformation in an infant]. 1986

G Stroobandt, and K Harmant-Van Rijckevorsel, and P Mathurin, and C de Nijs, and J de Ville de Goyet

In a 9 month-old infant, who displayed an epileptic seizure, the Brain CT-Scan shows a ventricular enlargement and a bilateral pericerebral effusion, associated with a left parieto-temporal arterio-venous malformation. Angiogram reveals a small angioma shunting the blood flow from the left middle cerebral artery into the lateral sinus. Intracranial pressure, recorded with a fontanellar transducer, is borderline. The angioma is excised and the operation, during which the subarachnoid location of the pericerebral effusion is confirmed, is followed by gradual subsiding of the internal and external hydrocephalus, that was caused by enhancement of the pressure in the venous sinuses. This case belongs to an infantile form of Benign Intracranial Hypertension, in which CT-Scan has to be interpreted cautiously, to avoid the pitfall of a wrong diagnosis of brain atrophy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D011559 Pseudotumor Cerebri A condition marked by raised intracranial pressure and characterized clinically by HEADACHES; NAUSEA; PAPILLEDEMA, peripheral constriction of the visual fields, transient visual obscurations, and pulsatile TINNITUS. OBESITY is frequently associated with this condition, which primarily affects women between 20 and 44 years of age. Chronic PAPILLEDEMA may lead to optic nerve injury (see OPTIC NERVE DISEASES) and visual loss (see BLINDNESS).

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D002538 Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations Congenital vascular anomalies in the brain characterized by direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. The locations and size of the shunts determine the symptoms including HEADACHES; SEIZURES; STROKE; INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES; mass effect; and vascular steal effect.

D006391 Hemangioma A vascular anomaly due to proliferation of BLOOD VESSELS that forms a tumor-like mass. The common types involve CAPILLARIES and VEINS. It can occur anywhere in the body but is most frequently noticed in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE.

D012640 Seizures Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells.
