“…Temporal horn entrapment might be a radiological finding, or it might present as a combination of contralateral homonymous hemianopia, contralateral hemiparesis, memory loss, and symptoms of raised ICP. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The presence of these symptoms precludes an observational attitude, and compels one to seek a rapid solution. Different options are available to divert the CSF away from the temporal horn, like shunting it to the frontal horn or to the peritoneal cavity.…”

Entrapment of the temporal horn is a rare form of noncommunicating focal hydrocephalus. Standard treatment has not yet been established for this condition, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. The authors reviewed their cases of temporal horn entrapment treated between May 2013 and December 2014 and report their experience with endoscopic temporal ventriculocisternostomy. Four patients were identified (3 adults and 1 child) who underwent this treatment. In 3 patients, the condition developed after tumor resection, and in 1 patient it developed after resection of an arteriovenous malformation. In 1 patient, a recurrent trapped temporal horn developed and a refenestration was successfully performed. No procedure-related complications were observed, and all of the patients remained shunt-free at last follow-up (range 4-24 months). Endoscopic temporal horn ventriculocisternostomy is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of symptomatic temporal horn entrapment in selected cases. However, there is little experience with the procedure to recommend it as the treatment of choice.

Trapped ipsilateral lateral ventricle: a delayed complication of hemispherotomy for Rasmussen’s encephalitis

Hemispherotomy is the currently preferred surgical treatment option for refractory unihemispheric epilepsies. The incidence of hydrocephalus is greatly reduced in this disconnective procedure when compared with the resective procedure of anatomical hemispherectomy. We describe the occurrence of ipsilateral trapped lateral ventricle months after hemispherotomy for Rasmussen's encephalitis. There is enough evidence to suggest that this rare and interesting complication is due to the local inflammatory changes associated with the surgical trauma.

The foramen of Monro has also been referred to by the name of interventricular foramen. The structures comprising this foramen are the anterior part of the thalamus, the fornix and the choroid plexus. Vital structures surround the foramen, the damage to which can be catastrophic leading to disability either temporary or permanent. In the literature it has been shown that tumors occurring in the area of interventricular foramen are rare and usually cause hydrocephalus. The operative approach depends upon the location of the tumor which can be either in the lateral or the third ventricle. Various pathologies which can lead to foramen of Monro obstruction and obstructive hydrocephalus include colloid cyst, craniopharyngioma, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma [SEGA], Neurocysticercosis, tuberculous meningitis, pituitary macroadenoma, neurocytoma, ventriculitis, multiseptate hydrocephalus, intraventricular hemorrhage, functionally isolated ventricles, choroid plexus tumors, subependymomas and idiopathic foramen of monro stenosis. In this chapter, we will discuss the various lesions at the level of foramen of Monro causing obstructive hydrocephalus and the management and associated complications of these lesions based on their type, clinical picture and their appearance on imaging.
