Third ventriculostomy for internal hydrocephalus complicated by unrecognized subdural hygroma and hematoma: a case report of a patient treated by Dr. Walter Dandy.
The authors review the case of a patient treated by Dr. Walter Dandy. When the patient was a young child he underwent two right transtemporal third ventriculostomies during which he sustained an unrecognized contralateral subdural hygroma and a chronic subdural hematoma with a mild infantile hemiparesis. He was able to complete high school, albeit at a slower pace than usual. As an adult he held several limited employment positions, lived at home for several decades, and was later cared for at a nursing home for a short time. The patient died when he was 66 years of age.
