Abstract :
Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a malformation
commonly associated with diverse cerebral
abnormalities including Chiari II, hydrocephalus,
corpus callosum agenesis, and absence of septum
pellucidum[1]. Gross choroid plexus anomalies like
cyst and bifida have been reported before[2-4] but
to our best knowledge, interchoroid plexus
adhesion has never been reported so far.
Our patient is an 8 month old girl, known case
of MMC who underwent endoscopic third
ventriculostomy (ETV) and choroid plexus
cauterization (CPC) to address hydrocephalus. Her
brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was
confirmative of aqueductal stenosis, corpus
callosum agenesis and absence of septum
pellucidum. During ETV/CPC, aberrant choroid
plexus was found above the fornix attached to
choroid plexus of both lateral ventricles at level of
trigon that was cauterized (Fig. 1).
