Abstract
The cited evidence establishes that the pathogenetic sequence of generalized communicating hydrocephalus followed by various degrees of aqueductal stenosis occurs in many mammalian species. The aqueductal stenosis is caused by compression of the midbrain by the expanding cerebral hemispheres. Therefore the sharp separation of communicating and non-communicating hydrocephalus is no longer tenable. L'étude sequentielle d'observations animales et humaines d'hydrocéphalie revele que plusieurs cas de sténose de l'aqueduc de Sylvius ne correspondent pas à une lésion primitive, mais representent un événement secondaire, une complication provoquée par la compression du mésencéphale sous l'effet de l'expansion des hémisphères cérébraux. Sur la base de ces constations, la distinction étio-pathogénique habituelle faite entre hydrocéphalie communicante et hydrocéphalie non communicante apparait désormais désuete et non fondée.Keywords
