Normal pressure hydrocephalus due to membranous obstruction of the sylvian aqueduct.
In a patient presenting with the clinical features of normal pressure hydrocephalus, a membranous obstruction of the aqueduct of Sylvius was demonstrated by combined air encephalography and contrast ventriculography. Ventriculoatrial shunting resulted in clinical improvement without significant change in ventricular size.
