title: Hydrocephalus and pseudotumour cerebri in the mucopolysaccharidoses.
abstract: This paper reports two cases of cerebrospinal fluid circulation disorder in children with mucopolysaccharidosis. One patient developed pseudotumour cerebri and the other communicating hydrocephalus. It is suggested that both have a similar underlying abnormality of cerebrospinal fluid absorption with different modes of presentation.
