Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to enlarged Virchow-Robin Spaces (VRS) is a rare entity, with only a few cases reported in the literature. Presenting symptoms vary widely from headaches to dizziness.
CASE DESCRIPTION: We report a case of a 31-year-old man who presented with pulsatile tinnitus and magnetic resonance imaging showing obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to tumefactive VRS. After a cerebrospinal fluid diversion procedure in the form of an endoscopic third ventriculostomy, he had almost complete resolution of his symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first case of obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to enlarged VRS, presenting with pulsatile tinnitus.
