  • Title: Hydrocephalus: a fatal late consequence of mumps encephalitis.
    Author: González-Gil J, Zarrabeitia MT, Altuzarra E, Sánchez-Molina I, Calvet R.
    Journal: J Forensic Sci; 2000 Jan; 45(1):204-7. PubMed ID: 10641941.
    Abstract:
    Common and usually self-limited diseases may occasionally have fatal consequences. Hydrocephalus is a very rare complication of mumps, with just a few cases reported in the literature. Here we report a fatal case of hydrocephalus presenting 19 years after mumps encephalitis. The long latency period between encephalitis and hydrocephalus-associated symptoms makes this case particularly interesting.
