[1] Hydrocephalus is typically treated through surgery. One option is the placement of a shunt system. [1] A procedure called an endoscopic third ventriculostomy has gained popularity in recent decades, and is an option in certain populations. [4] Outcomes are variable, but many people with shunts live normal lives. [1] However, there are many ...
Craniosynostosis-Dandy-Walker malformation-hydrocephalus syndrome (HCDPH1, also known as Sagittal craniosynostosis, Dandy-Walker malformation and hydrocephalus, Dandy-Walker malformation with sagittal craniosynostosis and hydrocephalus, Braddock-Jones-Superneau syndrome, or simply Hydrocephalus, autosomal dominant) is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by sagittal craniosynostosis ...
L1 syndrome is a group of mild to severe X-linked recessive disorders that share a common genetic basis. The spectrum of L1 syndrome disorders includes X-linked complicated corpus callosum dysgenesis, spastic paraplegia 1, MASA syndrome, and X-linked hydrocephalus with stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius (HSAS).
[5] [11] DWM is the cause of around 4.3% of cases of congenital hydrocephalus [14] and 2.5% of all cases of hydrocephalus. [6] A 2017 review found that most patients (65%) were diagnosed with either "Dandy–Walker malformation" or "Dandy–Walker syndrome", while 20% were diagnosed with "Dandy–Walker variant" and 1.1% with "mega cisterna ...
Walker–Warburg syndrome (WWS), also called Warburg syndrome, Chemke syndrome, HARD syndrome (Hydrocephalus, Agyria and Retinal Dysplasia), Pagon syndrome, cerebroocular dysgenesis (COD) or cerebroocular dysplasia-muscular dystrophy syndrome (COD-MD), [1] is a rare form of autosomal recessive congenital muscular dystrophy.

The aqueduct of Sylvius is the channel which connects the third ventricle to the fourth ventricle and is the narrowest part of the CSF pathway with a mean cross-sectional area of 0.5 mm 2 in children and 0.8 mm 2 in adults. [3] Because of its small size, the aqueduct is the most likely place for a blockage of CSF in the ventricular system.
In recent months, Danny Bonaduce, former “The Partridge Family” star and “The Danny Bonaduce Show” radio host, has revealed to his fans that he will be undergoing brain surgery after being ...
[1] Congenital abnormalities in the brain and progressive brain overgrowth can result in a variety of neurological problems that may require intervention. These include hydrocephalus, cerebellar tonsillar herniation , seizures and syringomyelia. These complications are not usually congenital, they develop over time often presenting ...
