- Abstract
We report a case of a 12-year-old boy with previously shunted congenital hydrocephalus, presenting with a progressive headache, nausea, vomiting, and lethargy. In the brain magnetic resonance imaging, a large cyst was seen in the superior recess of the fourth ventricle extending through the cerebral aqueduct toward the third ventricle. Endoscopic dual fenestration of the cyst was performed successfully using the posterior suboccipital approach through the foramen of Magendie, which resulted in the relief of symptoms without any complications, and the patient was symptom-free in the subsequent follow-up visits for 4 years.
