Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Ipsilateral hydrocephalus is an unusual complication of brain abscess. It is caused by the rupture of the abscess in the ventricle or thrombosis of the plexus choroid.
Case Report: We report here the case of a 65-year-old male treated from a complicated acute unilateral hydrocephalus secondary to the formation of inflammatory veils and septa. The hydrocephalus was successfully managed by endoscopic technique under neuronavigation. Conclusion: The strategy adopted in our case is safe, effective, simple and lead to little to no complications. After a review of literature, we discuss the pathological and management aspects of this rare entity. | |
