Abstract
Vascular compression as the cause of aqueductal stenosis is rare. In a 16-year-old girl with hydrocephalus, MR imaging provided evidence of aqueductal stenosis caused by a venous angioma in the tectum and midbr ain, This indicates the usefulness of MR imaging for the evaluation of obstructive hydrocephalus.
