Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis (DNH) is a rare disorder typically recognized at birth or during the neonatal period. DNH involves three or more organ systems, including the central nervous system (CNS). In these cases, serious complications such as hemorrhages and obstructive hydrocephalus can develop.
CASE REPORT: We present a case of DNH with intracranial hypertension and CNS hemorrhagic lesions on the mesencephalic aqueduct, resulting in triventricular hydrocephalus, treated with endoscopic ventriculocisternostomy (ETV) and medical therapy.
DISCUSSION: DNH is a rare condition that can involve the CNS with serious complications. From a review of the literature, we highlighted only two cases of DNH with brain involvement treated surgically. We report the successful outcome of ETV, along with surgical considerations, imaging findings, and the complete resolution of cerebral and skin lesions following medical therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Medical therapy is not standardized and must be individualized. In patients who develop severe neurological symptoms such as obstructive hydrocephalus, surgery may be considered to avoid neurological sequelae.
