Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia causing obstructive hydrocephalus and cerebellar edema due to fourth ventricular obstruction

Abdurrahman Raeiq et al.

Summary: Cerebral dolichoectasia can present with rare complications such as obstructive hydrocephalus, posing a diagnostic challenge. Optimal treatment is hindered by the underlying causes and rarity of diagnosis, often leading to treatment of immediate clinical problems without addressing the root pathology.

Dolichoectasia of basilar artery presenting as non-communicating hydrocephalus-A rare presentation

Neena Baby et al.

Summary: A 67-year-old woman presented with symptoms of dizziness, difficulty walking, slowed gait, and disorientation for two days. Evaluation revealed hydrocephalus with cerebrospinal fluid leakage around the brain. Magnetic resonance angiography showed compression of the third ventricle by a dolichoectatic basilar artery, leading to reduced cerebrospinal fluid flow. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion resulted in clinical improvement.

Endoscopic Anatomy of Lateral and Third Ventricles: A must Know for Performing Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy

Debabrata Sahana et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the endoscopic anatomy of ventricles for educational purposes, highlighting the importance of having a thorough knowledge of endoscopic anatomy for safe performance of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV). ETV is done using a zero-degree LOTTA endoscope, with the right Kocher's point chosen as the entry site into the ventricle, allowing communication between the third ventricle and various cisterns.
