Adult aqueductal stenosis presenting as double incontinence: a case report with magnetic resonance imaging.
An unusual case of adult-onset aqueduct stenosis is discussed. The patient presented with a 3-year history of bowel and bladder incontinence without associated dementia, gait disturbance, headache, visual loss, or hypothalamic dysfunction. The absence of the midportion of the sylvian aqueduct in this patient is verified by magnetic resonance imaging.
