Interhemispheric Transcallosal Transforaminal Approach and Microscopic Third Ventriculostomy for Intraventricular Craniopharyngioma Associated with Asymmetric Hydrocephalus: Case Report and Literature Review.

We report on a case of a solid adamantinomatous variant of craniopharyngioma located entirely within the third ventricle causing asymmetric obstructive hydrocephalus in a 43-year-old male patient. The patient complaints included intermittent severe headache and progressive bilateral visual field loss. Initially, the lesion was accessed via the bifrontal interhemispheric translamina terminalis approach but total removal was not possible due to short anterior communicating artery which limited the exposure.

Spontaneous chronic subdural hematoma in elderly people - Arterial hypertension and other risk factors.

Background: The risk factors implicated in the genesis of chronic subdural hematomas include old age, alcoholism, diabetes mellitus, arachnoid cysts, coagulopathy, anticoagulant (ACTh) and antiplatelet drugs. However, no study has reported an association between arterial hypertension (HTA) and chronic subdural hematomas. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether HTA is a risk factor for spontaneous chronic subdural hematomas (SCSDHs).
