  • Title: Non-communicating hydrocephalus caused by dural arteriovenous malformation.
    Author: Tsugane R, Sato O, Watabe T.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1979 Nov; 12(5):393-6. PubMed ID: 316203.
    Abstract:
    The case of a female infant with a non-communicating hydrocephalus caused by an enormously dilated straight sinus and the dilated posterior one third of the sagittal sinus is presented. These sinuses drained a torcular dural arteriovenous malformation. Conray ventriculography revealed a complete obstruction of the junction of the aqueduct and fourth ventricle with cephaloventral displacement of the ventricular system by the dilated sinuses. Placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was followed by artificial embolization, by selective catheterization, into the dural feeding arteries.
