A 56-year-old female recovered completely after evacuation of acute epidural hematoma until development of dementia 7 days after operation. At day 20, she underwent ventriculo-peritoneal shunting to treat progressive hydrocephalus and has been free from neurologic symptoms for 2 years. The serial CT examinations indicate that after head trauma without subarachnoid hemorrhage, hydrocephalus can develop in a case of previously silent DWS. Rapid changes of intracranial pressure in trauma may affect cerebrospinal fluid outflow through a DWS-related valve mechanism at the foramina of Luschka, which results in hydrocephalus., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1999, 44(1-2), p.53-57}, pages = {53--57}, title = {Onset of Dandy-Walker Syndrome in Adult following Head Trauma: A .}, volume = {44}, year = {1999} }
