Abstrakt: Multiloculated hydrocephalus constitutes a challenging pathology due to intracerebral haemorrhage or ventriculitis leading to iterative shunt revision frequently described in paediatric neurosurgery, but poorly reported in adults. Nevertheless, this potential complication of intraventricular haemorrhage, already drained in emergency, should be considered with special interest, as ideal management of cerebrospinal drainage remains debated in such situation. We thus report herein the case of intraventricular haemorrhage in an adult complicated of multiloculated hydrocephalus, as an illustrative plea for endoscopic surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
