“…Memory and behavioral disturbances in pituitary adenomas can be due to underlying hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, lobar extension (frontal and temporal), and normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). [ 2 ] In our case, there were no radiological or clinical features of NPH, and the classical triad of NPH was incomplete due to the absence of gait disturbance. In this case, the possible mechanism of urinary incontinence was disinhibition of the pontine micturition center by frontal lobe dysfunction caused due to the mass effect of the tumor due to forebrain excitatory pathway upregulation and downregulation of forebrain tonic inhibitory pathways.…”

We describe a 55 year old, female patient with known pituitary adenoma since 9 years who was lost to follow up during 8 years. She presented with temporal vision loss, no other complaints. Imaging showed a large sellar mass which expanded suprasellar with severe anterior displacement of the chiasma opticum and extending into the third ventricle with significant obstruction of the foramen of Monroe, leading to a dilatation of the right lateral ventricle. Clinical significant tumour progression occurred under treatment with Cabergoline, leading to hydrocephalus. Patient underwent semi urgent endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of the tumour. Three months after surgery the patient was asymptomatic and imaging confirmed a complete resection. Hormone levels where in normal range on account of the substitution therapy. This case stresses the importance of follow-up in patients with pituitary adenomas.

The authors report on four unusual cases of chronic adult hydrocephalus extracted from a large personal series of patients with hydrocephalic dementia. A syndrome resembling that of normal pressure hydrocephalus was due to the following aetiologies in these patients: Paget's disease of the skull, unruptured cerebral arteriovenous malformation, colloid cyst of the third ventricle, and cerebromeningeal cysticercosis. All these patients exhibited disturbances in cerebrospinal fluid dynamics at the time of study, and were considerably improved by CSF shunting. The value of the continuous CSF pressure monitoring and the constant infusion test in selecting patients with chronic hydrocephalus for shunt therapy is emphasized.
