Abstract
The authors describe a case of a large subtentorial supracollicular di verticulum of the third ventricle associated with a cavernous angioma in its wall in a 6-year-old girl who presented with developmental dela y and obstructive hydrocephalus. This is the first case in which such association has been diagnosed and successfully treated. The literatur e is reviewed, and the possible relationship between these two rare le sions is discussed.
