The Patient
6 yo boy with macrocephaly, which manifested in the first year of life as excessive head growth, accompanied by reduced activity and poor feeding. Other significant medical hx includes cognitive delay, osteogenesis imperfecta type 2, restrictive lung disease. Birth hx: born at 34 ½ wk premature by c-section with subsequent 25 day NICU course significant for apneic and bradycardic spells No family hx of large heads
Used with permission of patient’s mother 3
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Macrocephaly in Infant or Child
Defined as a head circumference more than 2 SD above the mean for age and sex Excessive rate of head growth over time suggests increased intracranial pressure – Most often caused by hydrocephalus, extra-axial fluid
collections, or neoplasms
Macrocephaly with normal head growth rate suggests familial macrocephaly or true megalencephaly 4
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
DDx of Macrocephaly Causes
Examples
Pseudomacrocephaly, pseudohydrocephalus, catch-up growth
Growing premature infant, recovery from malnutrition, congenital heart disease
Increased intracranial pressure with dilated ventricles with other mass Benign familial macrocephaly (idiopathic external hydrocephalus)
Progressive hydrocephalus, subdural effusion, hydrancephaly Arachnoid cyst, porencephalic cyst, brain tumor Benign enlargement of subarachnoid spaces, congenital communicating hydrocephalus, benign subdural collections of infancy

Workup of Macrocephaly
History – including family medical hx
Physical exam – Neurological exam – Plotting measurement of head circumference for age and sex – Palpation of anterior fontanelle (if not closed) and of head for
asymmetries or ridges – Listen for bruits in neck and head – In infants, transillumination of skull in a darkened room may reveal subdural effusions, hydrocephalus, hydranencephaly, or cystic defect
Imaging studies Depending on hx, possible labs include toxoplasmosis serum antibody levels, lumbar puncture, subdural tap 7

Pathophysiology of Hydrocephalus Imbalance
of CSF formation and absorption, resulting in an excess of CSF with subsequent increase in intracranial pressure
CSF basics – Normal CSF production 02.-035 mL/min with a
majority produced by the choroid plexus – Total volume of CSF in an adult ~ 120 mL 9

CSF Circulation & Ventricular System
From Nolte, J. The Human Brain: An Introduction to Its Functional Anatomy. 4th ed. St. Louis: Mosby, 1999. 10
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Epidemiology Incidence
of congenital hydrocephalus is 23 per 1,000 live births Incidence of acquired hydrocephalus is not known About 100,000 shunts are implanted each year in the developed countries Incidence is equal in males and females 11
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Symptoms of Hydrocephalus in Infants Poor
feeding Irritability Reduced activity Vomiting
12
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Signs in Infants
Macrocephaly with excessive rate of head growth Dysjunction of sutures Dilated scalp veins Tense/bulging fontanelle Setting-sun sign: Eyes are deviated downward, the upper lids are retracted, and superior sclerae may be visible. Lower limb spasticity and hypertonia Papilledema often not present in infants 13
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Symptoms in Children
Altered behavior Slowing of mental capacity or decreased level of consciousness Headaches (initially in AM) Neck pain (2º to tonsilalar herniation) Vomiting (worse in AM) Blurred vision (2º to papilledema) Double vision (2º to Abducens nerve palsy) Stunted growth and sexual maturation from third ventricle dilatation obesity, precocious or delayed onset of puberty Difficulty in walking 2º to spasticity 14
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Signs in Children
Papilledema optic atrophy and vision loss (if increased intracranial pressure (ICP) goes untreated)
Failure of upward gaze (2º to pressure on tectal plate through the suprapineal recess)
Macewen sign: A "cracked pot" sound is noted on percussion of the head. Unsteady gait (2º to spasticity in lower extremities) Macrocephaly (sutures are closed, but chronic ICP will lead to progressive abnormal head growth)
Uni- or bilateral sixth nerve palsy 15

Classifications of Hydrocephalus Congenital
v. Acquired Communicating v. Noncommunicating
16
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Congenital Hydrocephalus Most
common category in children Usually present during infancy – Hydrocephalus presenting after age 6 months is
less likely to be congenital, and neoplasm must be excluded
17
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Congenital Causes
Aqueduct (of Sylvius) stenosis – due to malformation (10% of all cases in newborns)
Arnold-Chiari I &II, Vein of Galen, Klippel-Feil
– Postinfectious: toxoplasmosis, cytomegalic inclusion
disease, rubella, syphilis
Obstruction of foramina of Luschka and Magendie – Dandy-Walker malformation (2-4% of newborns)
Agenesis of foramen of Monro Bickers-Adams syndrome Achondroplasia 18
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Acquired Causes
Mass lesions – account for 20% of all cases in children – usually tumors (eg, medulloblastoma, astrocytoma), but cysts, abscesses,
or hematoma also cause
Intraventricular hemorrhage – 2º to prematurity, head injury, or rupture of a vascular malformation.
Infections – Meningitis, especially bacterial, Mumps, cysticercosis
Increased venous sinus pressure – 2º to achondroplasia, craniostenoses, or venous thrombosis.
Iatrogenic – Hypervitaminosis A.
Idiopathic
19
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Communicating Hydrocephalus
Overproduction of CSF (rare) – Choroid plexus papillomas (more common of the two) – Diffuse villous hyperplasia of choroid plexus
Extraventricular (not between ventricles and subarachnoid space) obstruction by tumor, hemorrhage, infection, vascular abnormality, or structural abnormality – Possible sites: cerebellar subarachnoid space, basal
cisterns, tentorial hiatus (Chiari malformation, achondroplasia) cerebral subarachnoid space 20
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Noncommunicating Hydrocephalus
An intraventricular obstruction by tumor, hemorrhage, infection, vascular abnormality, or structural abnormality Most common cause is aqueductal stenosis, often in association with Chiari II Common sites of obstruction – Lateral ventricle – Foramina of Monro – Third ventricle – Aqueduct – Fourth Ventricle 21
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Fetal Diagnosis of Ventriculomegaly
Primarily by obstetric ultrasound Defined as an atrium of a lateral ventricle larger than 11 mm – However, ultrasound cannot confirm whether
ventriculomegaly is result of hyrdocephalus or loss of periventricular brain tissue in which the vacant space is passively filled with CSF
May be detected as early as latter part of 1st trimester. Around 20-24 weeks, abnormal dilation of ventricles is more clearly detectable. 22
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Postnatal Diagnosis Diagnosis
of hydrocephalus is made when the ventricles are enlarged in the absence of cerebral atrophy or dysgenesis Radiological Modalities – – – –
Plain film Ultrasound CT MR 23
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Structural characteristics of hydrocephalus Dilation
of temporal and frontal horns of the lateral ventricles (often first sign) Enlargement of anterior or posterior recesses of third ventricle Narrowing of mamillopontine distance Narrowing of ventricular angle Effacement of cortical sulci = will return to point again
24
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Hydrocephalus v. Cerebral Atrophy
Enlargement of temporal horns commensurately with the bodies of the lateral ventricles is probably most sensitive and reliable sign in the differentiation of hydrocephalus from atrophy – In atrophy, there is less dilatation of the temporal horns
than the lateral ventricles bodies – If sylvian fissures are enlarged, dilated temporal horns are not reliable sign
Large or rapidly enlarging head suggests hydrocephalus Small or diminishing head circumference suggests atrophy
25
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Hydrocephalus v. Cerebral Atrophy
Ventricular Angle (left) tends to be smaller in hydrocephalus (shown above) than in atrophy. Frontal horn radius (right) tends to be larger in hydrocephalus than in atrophy. Courtesy of Dr. Nedda Hobbs and Children’s Hospital Boston Film Library
26
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Plain Films and Hydrocephalus
Prior to newer modalities, diagnosis was made by skull films showing: – split sutures – disproportionate craniofacial ratio – bulging of the anterior fontanel – erosion of the dorsum sellae – “hammered silver” appearance of calvarium
27
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Ultrasound and Hydrocephalus
If anterior fontanlle is open, intracranial structures including ventricles, parenchyma, and vessels are readily visualized in the coronal and sagittal planes. Used to evaluate for ventricular size, parenchymal and intraventricular hemorrhage, extracerebral fluid collections, cystic lesions, and solid parenchymal masses.

CT/MRI Findings in Acute Hydrocephalus
Temporal horns are preferentially dilated anteroposterially – Size > 2 mm – Normally, temporal horns are slit-like and barely visible
Ballooning of frontal horns of lateral ventricles and third ventricle (ie, "Mickey mouse" ventricles) Periventricular interstitial edema Sylvian and interhemispheric fissures are not visible 45
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
CT/MRI Findings in Acute Hydrocephalus (cont’d)
Fourth ventricle is usually normal in size Ratio between largest width of the frontal horns and the internal diameter from inner-table to inner-table at this level should be greater than 0.5 Ratio of largest width of frontal horns to maximal biparietal diameter > 30% Upward bowing of corpus callosum on sagittal MRI 46
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
CT/MRI Findings in Chronic Hydrocephalus
Temporal horns may be less prominent than in acute hydrocephalus Third ventricle may herniate into sella turcica, which may be eroded Corpus callosum may be atrophied (best appreciated on sagittal MRI)
With long-standing untreated hydrocephalus, white matter will undergo irreversible demyelination 47
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Periventricular Interstitial Edema
Transependymal CSF resorption from ventricular lumen to the parenchyma On CT, appears as hypodensity in periventricular region with indistinct ventricular margins On MR, appears as rim of prolonged T1 or T2 relaxation times surrounding lateral venticles – proton density image or a fluid attenuated inversion
recovery (FLAIR) image is much more sensitive
Seen particularly at the superlateral angles of the frontal horns Not seen in neonates or young infants (immature brain has normally high water content)

Shunts
Principle of shunting is to establish a communication between the CSF (ventricular or lumbar) and a drainage cavity (peritoneum, right atrium, pleura)
In principle, a shunt is a plastic tube less than 1/8 of an inch thick that allows one-directional flow of CSF by responding to pressure differences between the ventricle and the cavity to which the shunt terminates. There is a valve system that regulates the flow as well as a reservoir, which can be felt through the skin. This reservoir allows for sampling of CSF by needle aspiration.
64
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Shunts
CSF is simply absorbed in the drainage cavity Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is the most common – lateral ventricle is the usual proximal
location – advantage is that the need to lengthen the catheter with growth may be obviated by using a long peritoneal catheter
Like all foreign bodies, shunts can malfunction or become infected Only about 25% of patients with hydrocephalus are treated successfully without shunt placement
Diagram of VP and VA shunts From http://www.cinn.org/conditio ns/hydrocephalus.html 65
Jeff Edwards Gillian Lieberman, MD
Common Shunt Complications
Ventricular end
Atrial end
– Blockage
– Thrombosis
– Disconnection
– Infection
– Migration – Hemorrhage – Infection – Isolated or “trapped” fourth
ventricle – Secondary craniosynostosis – Calvarial thickening – Slit ventricle syndrome
Peritoneal end – Infection (peritonitis,
adhesions) – CSF “pseudotumor”, encystment

CSF Shunt Scintigraphy In different patient evaluated for possible shunt malfunction, there is normal progression of tracer down the shunt catheter, with free spillage into the peritoneal cavity by 15 min. There is no reflux into the ventricles.
Normal transit time ~ 10-20 min. Transit time > 30 min is abnormal. From Vreeland, TH, Wallis, J. Diagnosis: Normal CSF shunt scintigraphy. http://gamma.wustl.edu/cs001te117.html
