5 Congenital membrane causing unilateral hydrocephalus
Unilateral hydrocephalus is caused by foramen of Monro obstruction - due to neoplastic or inflammatory causes and congenital atresia or membrane occluding normal sized foramen [1]. Corpus callosal abnormalities appear to be the most common association. Surgical options include shunt placement in dilated ventricle, fenestration of septum pellucidum and neuroendoscopic fenestration of occluded foramen [2]. 1. Kumar R.
