Notes: Summary Two patients with aneurysms at the termination of the basilar artery deforming the third ventricle had a clinico-radiological picture of communicating hydrocephalus. Both patients underwent ventriculo-atrial shunt operations. Case 1 died 3 months after the operation. Autopsy revealed atrophic changes of the mammillary bodies and basal ganglia. In Case 2 paroxysmal increases of CSF-pressure (plateau-waves) were recorded during the operation. Slight clinical improvement was observed as compared with the preoperative condition. The significance of these findings are discussed in relation to the syndrome of adult “normal pressure” hydrocephalus.
