Abstract
- Otitic hydrocephalus (OH) comprises a form of benign intracranial hypertension, which is secondary to otogenic lateral sinus thrombosis (LST). Only a small percentage of the patients with otogenic LST go into developing OH, and this may be associated with the multiplicity of anatomic variations of the cerebral venous drainage pathways. We present two pediatric cases of OH, along with a comprehensive review of the relevant literature. Both cases discussed in this article had concomitantly a rather rare anatomical variation; a high-riding, dehiscent jugular bulb, which might have played a role in the development of their clinical syndrome. The pediatric population with this particular imaging finding should receive special attention. Clinical implications of this concurrence are fitly discussed.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest None.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
