Endocrine disorder as the only sign of chronic "non-hypertensive" hydrocephalus.
Three cases of "non-hypertensive" chronic hydrocephalus, 2 of which associated with early puberty and 1 with primary amenorrhea, are reported. Hormonal secretion deficiencies were confirmed by laboratory investigations. Only 1 of the 3 patients was surgically treated with a shunting device.
