Abstract

Post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) is rare but potentially treatable sequel of head injury. We report an uncommon cause of PTH in a 54-year patient who had bilateral temporal contusions causing compression of the third ventricle. We discuss the underlying pathology of the hydrocephalus; discuss the imaging finding and management of the patient.
