Unruptured arteriovenous malformation in a patient presenting with obstructive hydrocephalus. Case report and review of the literature.
[hydrocephalus with stenosis of the aqueduct of sylvius]
The
authors
report
on
a
patient
harboring
an
unruptured
cortical
arteriovenous
malformation
(
AVM
)
,
who
had
presented
with
obstructive
hydrocephalus
due
to
compression
of
the
cerebral
aqueduct
by
a
large
venous
varix
.
Although
patients
with
ruptured
AVMs
are
known
to
either
present
with
or
later
suffer
from
obstructive
hydrocephalus
,
those
with
unruptured
AVMs
who
present
in
this
manner
are
quite
rare
.
Moreover
,
hydrocephalus
caused
by
a
venous
varix
draining
an
AVM
,
to
our
knowledge
,
has
never
been
previously
reported
in
the
literature
.
This
report
serves
to
illustrate
two
primary
points
,
namely
,
that
tortuous
venous
varices
draining
AVMs
can
result
in
obstructive
hydrocephalus
and
that
this
unusual
circumstance
can
be
fostered
in
the
setting
of
venous
outflow
obstruction
.
