Abstract
We report a case of V ventricular cystic dilatation, presenting with specific neurological symptoms including low back pain, bilateral sciatica, weakness of dorsiflexion, and urinary retention. MRI showed a large cystic dilatation of the ventriculus terminalis. Surgical fenestration of the cyst allowed complete relief from symptoms and remission of the neurological deficit.
