Abstract: Chronic adult hydrocephalus due to obstruction of the median opening of the fourth ventricle, or Magendie's Foramen, is a rare entity(1.2). Diagnosis is based on imaging, which helps guide therapeutic management, particularly surgery, which will involve ventriculo-cisternostomy(3.4). Imperforation of magendie's foramen is a rare congenital condition, which can remain silent for a long time and then decompensate in adulthood(1.5). We report the case of a 60-year-old patient with tetraventricular hydrocephalus caused by magendian foramen obstruction.
