  • Title: Hydrocephalus due to acute aqueductal stenosis following mumps infection: report of a case and review of the literature.
    Author: Ogata H, Oka K, Mitsudome A.
    Journal: Brain Dev; 1992 Nov; 14(6):417-9. PubMed ID: 1492656.
    Abstract:
    An acquired form of hydrocephalus due to aqueductal stenosis developing as a sequela of mumps virus infection of the central nervous system is presented. Percutaneous third ventriculostomy and interventriculostomy (aqueduct cannulation) were performed using a flexible fiberoptic ventriculoscope. The aqueduct was blocked with amorphous material but was cleared with the scope. This is the first case of a fulminant phase of mumps ventriculitis leading to aqueductal stenosis, which has been treated using a ventriculoscope for the first time.
