Posthydrocephalus corpus callosum damage and its mimics: A case report

Hydrocephalus is a frequently encountered finding on routine brain imaging. A common underlying cause is aqueductal stenosis<b>,</b> which is typically diagnosed in the pediatric population. However, approximately 10% of aqueductal stenosis cases are identified in adults<b>.</b> Posthydrocephalus corpus callosum damage has been reported primarily in patients undergoing decompressive surgery for chronic hydrocephalus such as aqueductal stenosis<b>.</b> This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing these entities on imaging to avoid misdiagnosis and prevent unnecessary investigations or interventions.

Abstract

Hydrocephalus is a frequently encountered finding on routine brain imaging. A common underlying cause is aqueductal stenosis<b>,</b> which is typically diagnosed in the pediatric population. However, approximately 10% of aqueductal stenosis cases are identified in adults<b>.</b> Posthydrocephalus corpus callosum damage has been reported primarily in patients undergoing decompressive surgery for chronic hydrocephalus such as aqueductal stenosis<b>.</b> This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing these entities on imaging to avoid misdiagnosis and prevent unnecessary investigations or interventions.
