Diffuse choroid plexus hyperplasia: an under-diagnosed cause of hydrocephalus in children?
Hydrocephalus is a common neurological disorder in children and the result of a variety of causes. However, with the advancement of imaging modalities, particularly MRI, previously reported rarer causes of hydrocephalus in children are now being more readily appreciated. We report an 11-year-old boy...

Hydrocephalus is a common neurological disorder in children and the result of a variety of causes.
