Resumen

La hidrocefalia asimétrica constituye una patología poco frecuente. Las causas mas comunes que pueden dar lugar a la dilatación unilateral de un ventrículo lateral son las de origen tumoral en las lesiones que se sitúan en el ventrículo lateral o en el área del IIIer ventrículo, fenómenos de gliosis postinflamatoria aguda o crónica, cisticercosis o la atresia congénita del foramen de Monro. Presentamos el caso de un paciente adulto con una dilatación asimétrica de un ventrículo lateral que debutó con un cuadro de hipertensión intracraneal debido a la presencia de una fina membrana que ocluía parcialmente un foramen de Monro muy pequeño. El paciente fue tratado con éxito mediante una fenestración endoscópica del foramen de Monro.

Palabras clave:
Hidrocefalia asimétrica

Summary

Unilateral dilatation of the lateral ventricle is a rare condition. The most common causes are tumors of the lateral ventricles or in the area of the third ventricle, acute or chronic inflammatory gliosis, cysticercosis or congenital atresia of the foramen of Monro. We report a case of asymmetrical dilatation of the lateral ventricle in an adult patient presenting with a raised intracranial pressure syndrome caused by narrowing of the foramen of Monro which was occluded by a thin membrane. The patient underwent successfull endoscopic fenestration of the Foramen of Monro.

Key words:
Asymmetric hidrocephalus
Neuroendoscopy
