case_images: At 37 weeks, the maternal abdominal girth exceeded the expected range, and a second ultrasound revealed interval development of congenital hydrocephalus (Figure 1).
case_images: Postnatal T1-weighted axial and sagittal MRI with gadolinium at three days of life demonstrates a patent aqueduct of Sylvius, but a developmental venous anomaly (white arrow) extending from the left thalamus converging on a central draining vein bridges across the proximal orifice of the aqueduct of Sylvius and obstructs the aqueduct.
