Resumen

Se describe el caso de una paciente de 13 años de edad, sin antecedentes de neurofibromatosis, afecta de un neurinoma del VIII par izquierdo e hidrocefalia. El síndrome de hipertensión endocraneal fue la clínica que motivó su ingreso hospitalario, no requiriendo ser derivada la hidrocefalia tras la extirpación precoz del tumor. Se comenta además en este articulo: la imagen quística de la Tomografía Computarizada (TC) cerebral como forma de presentación radiológica infrecuente; la edad de aparición de la lesión en la paciente, habiéndose descrito sólo 15 casos en la infancia; y la díficil preservación del nervio facial en neurinomas de gran tamaño tras la cirugía.

Summary

We describe the case of a 13, year-old patient, without antecedents of neurofibromatosis, affected by a neurinoma of the left VIII cranial nerve and hydrocephalus. The syndrome of intracranial hypertension was the clinic manifestation which motivated her admission to the hospital, not being necessary to derivate the hydrocephalus after the precocious removal of the tumour.

Moreover, we cornment: the cystic image at the Computerized Tomography (CT) as an infrequent way of radiological presentation; the age of the patient when the symptoms appeared (we only found 15 cases previously described in childhood), and the difficulty of management of the facial nerve in neurinomas of big size after surgery.

Key words:
Acoustic neurinoma
Hydrocephalus
Childhood
Computerized Tomography
Brain Tumour
