Afectación del VI y el VII par craneal secundaria a hipertensión intracraneal idiopática en un paciente pediátrico

Background: Cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and cavum vergae (CV) are normal anatomical variations present in some children, adolescents, and adults. When the cavity is larger than normal, it is called a cyst. Symptomatic cases of CSP and CV cyst are rare, and the clinical presentation is varied. A case with multiple nerve involvement is described. Case Description: A healthy 17-year-old female presented a sudden headache, right cervicobrachialgia, right ptosis, visual changes, and left facial paralysis over 10 days. Head magnetic resonance imaging revealed CSP and CV cyst. Inflammation, infection, and vascular disorders were ruled out. We decided to perform a right transfrontal endoscopic intraventricular septostomy and a right Monro foraminoplasty, which were successful. One month after surgery, the patient had no more signs or symptoms. She has remained asymptomatic for the past year. Conclusion: Multiple nerve involvement was directly related to CSP and CV cyst. The cyst bilaterally occluded the foramen of Monro causing intracranial hypertension. It was possible to obtain complete resolution of the clinical features through neuroendoscopic fenestration and foraminoplasty.
