Description

On the pathological state of the subdural accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid-like material, Mayo, in 1894, offered the name of brain cyst, followed by such designations as subdural hygroma, hydroma, effusion and fluid collection. Since 5 cases of traumatic subdural hydroma were reported in Japan in 1956, many reports were presented.<BR>Especially in infant and children, this is known to be accompanied by focal or diffuse skull bulging. The authors have recently experienced one case of subdural hydroma accompanied by left temporal lobe agenesis, with chronic distension of the skull since the time of birth without history of trauma or other disease. In addition to routine neurosurgical diagnosis, radioisotope scintigraphy by PHO/GAMMA scintillation camera was used to obtain adequate diagnosis. For such a case, the pathogenesis and various nomenclature were also discussed. It was considered that this case belongs to hydroencepha lodysplasia
