We report a case of unilateral hydrocephalus diagnosed at 20 weeks' gestation, at which time marked facial and cranial asymmetry was present already. Brain mantle reconstitution was incomplete following ventriculo-peritoneal shunting, and the child has significant neurodevelopmental disability.

Mirror aneurysms are rare and pose therapeutic challenges, with both endovascular and microsurgical options available. Single-stage and two-stage procedures are employed, but the optimal strategy remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the efficacy and safety of different therapeutic strategies for managing mirror aneurysms.

Orbital complications are rare manifestations of congenital hydrocephalus. We present a case of a child presenting with unilateral exophthalmos and palpebral edema as a result of a chronic increased intracranial pressure and severe enlargement of the ventricular system. The initial presentation in our 13-year-old male patient was progressive right eyelid swelling.

We performed a literature review focusing on case reports and case series studies, aiming to better define the clinical presentation of isolated lateral intraventricular neurocysticercosis (LVNCC) and to discuss the current knowledge of its characteristics, patient demographics, clinical manifestations, treatment, and prognosis, based on the collected data. Data for this study were gathered by conducting searches on the Medline database and Google Scholar using various combinations of the following terms "intraventricular neurocysticercosis (IVNCC)," "brain ventricle cyst," "cysticercosis of lateral brain ventricles," "cysticercus cyst in brain ventricles," and "intraventricular cystic brain lesion." Articles published in English between January 1980 and March 2023 that reported cases of LVNCC were selected for analysis.

Neurosarcoidosis is a condition that is characterized by the occurrence of noncaseating epithelioid granulomas in various organs throughout the body, including the lungs, heart, and central nervous system. It is particularly prevalent in cases of noncommunicating hydrocephalus. While its clinical presentations may vary, neurological deficits such as hemiparesis are extremely uncommon.

Department of Neurosurgery, New York University Langone Health, New York, New York, USA.
Background And Objectives: Hydrocephalus after Gamma Knife® stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for vestibular schwannomas is a rare but manageable occurrence. Most series report post-SRS communicating hydrocephalus in about 1% of patients, thought to be related to a release of proteinaceous substances into the cerebrospinal fluid. While larger tumor size and older patient age have been associated with post-SRS hydrocephalus, the influence of baseline ventricular anatomy on hydrocephalus risk remains poorly defined.
