[Syndrome of senile dementia with dilatation of the cerebral ventricles without other lesions (apropos of 18 observations anatomo-clinical)].
Study of 18 anatomo-clinical observations with dilatation of the cerebral ventricles (without vascular, degenerative or other cerebral lesions), and neuropsychiatric syydrome during the senile period of life. In the morphological and pathogenetic point of view, for one half of these cases a traumatic, microhemorrhagic, or inflammatory aetiology could be taken into consideration; for the other half, the hydrocephalus could be considered as idiopathic.
