We report the case histories of three sisters with congenital hydrocephalus associated with stenosis of the cerebral aqueduct. The parents were a young consanguineous couple. In two cases hydrocephalus was detected before birth by ultrasonography. We consider these three cases to be of the rare autosomal form of hereditary hydrocephalus.
An infant with unusual CT and MRI manifestations of postnatally acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is presented. The child exhibited extensive inflammatory lesions in the periventricular area and at the level of the quadrigeminal plate with the formation of a pseudotumour at this level. The latter produced aqueduct obstruction resulting in hydrocephalus. These findings have not previously been described in the literature.
Congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome was diagnosed in a two-year- old boy with signs of pseudobulbar and diplegic cerebral palsy presenting on MRI a polymicrogyric appearance of the perisylvian regions. He was born from a monochorionic bi-amniotic twin pregnancy complicated by twin-twin transfusion syndrome and death of the co-twin between the 16th and 18th weeks of gestation. Ventricular enlargement and hepatic hyperechogenic lesions were seen during his sonographic intra-uterine follow-up. The authors suggest that ischaemic injury occurred in this patient as a consequence of acute haemodynamic changes induced by the death of his co-twin.
