Abstract
The authors report the case of a 43-year-old woman with a venous malfo rmation of the mesencephalon occluding the sylvian aqueduct. Neuroradi ological investigations suggested aqueductal stenosis, while the prese nce of a venous malformation was diagnosed by both magnetic resonance imaging and an angiogram, and was visualized using a neuroendoscope. T his is the first reported instance of a venous malformation being obse rved in situ and the subependymal course taken.
