Destruction hydrocephalus : その病態に対する一考察

概要

A case with hydrocephalus subsequent to neonatal intraventricular and intracerebral hemorrhages is reported. The hydrocephalus in this case was diagnosed to be obstructive due to subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, one lateral ventricle, in which intracerebral hemorrhage occurred, dilated predominantly compared with that in the contralateral hemisphere. Hydrocephalus which occurs in the brain suffering from destructive changes due to some other causes than hydrocephalus, such as in this case, should be named "destruction hydrocephalus" as a new entity, and be discriminated from one which shows dilated ventricles simply due to increased intraventricular pressure. In this hydrocephalus, dilatation of the ventricle occurs irregularly and relatively in short periods, causing secondary cerebral destruction. Therefore, ventriculostomy to prevent progression of cerebral damage is required as soon as possible.
