who introduced the term “external hydrocephalus”, indicating that CSF is collecting in a site external to the brain itself [14]. The plethora of terminology used in the past for extracerebral collections has been confusing and reflected the poor knowledge...
We conclude that mass lesions originating in the upper midbrain are a subset of intrinsic brainstem tumors with a relatively benign course, usually presenting with hydrocephalus after infancy. They may remain stable for considerable periods and may require no further therapy after treatment of ...

the onset of other symptoms of hydrocephalus by several years. Only one of the 16 children showed evidence of brain-stem dysfunction at presentation, a partial Parinaud's syndrome that resolved following placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. In 12 patients, the tumor was detected by magnetic...
This phenomenon may be asymptomatic or may give rise to communicating or noncommunicating hydrocephalus, seizures, focal neurologic deficits, mental retardation, or even melanoma. CNNs need not be giant to be associated with this underlying disorder. There is a significant association between ...
This midline lesion was localized in the posterior fossa and manifested by hydrocephalus. The entire dural origin and extradural growing pattern in addition to the destruction of the adjacent occipital bone were the unexpected presentations since these tumors usually tend to locate on leptomeninges and...

This finding has been associated with the presence of subdural fluid ...

Benign external hydrocephalus (BEH) is characterized by too rapidly increasing head circumference in infants, combined with typical neuroimaging findings. Psychomotor developmental delay is typically seen during the first few years of life; after that, the children's development assumedly normalizes. ...
