Abstract:

Three cases are presented of symptomatic cysts or membranes within the third ventricle interfering with CSF flow and presenting as non-communicating triventricular hydrocephalus. None was visible on conventional CT or MRI, two being discovered at neuroendoscopy and one only with a specific MRI sequence designed to show CSF partitioning.
