Abstract

Background

Temporal horn entrapment is a rare disorder subsequent to obstruction around the trigone of the lateral ventricle caused by inflammations, tumors, infections, or after surgical processes. Most reports are unilateral and acquired but congenital ones have not been reported yet.

Methods

Here we report the first congenital case of huge bilateral temporal horn entrapment. A six-month-old boy was admitted to our service with progressive intracranial hypertension who was managed with bilateral ventricular catheters and Y tube connected to one peritoneal catheter.
