Abstract
- The authors report a case of Normal Volume Hydrocephalus with recuring ventricular catheter obstraction treated by bilateral subtemporal craniectomy. Subtemporal craniectomy provide temporary relief from increased intracranial pressure while the same time encouraging dilatation of ventricle, would protect against further catheter obstruction by prevent trapping of catheter tip between the abutting ventricular wall. The patient had been followed-up for 2 years and postoperative result was excellent.
