Abstract
A 5-month-old male patient presented with obstructive hydrocephalus caused by pineal cyst apoplexy. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery was performed for hydrocephalus treatment. During follow-up, spontaneous shrinkage of the cyst was observed. At 24 months of follow-up, no complications were reported. Pediatric cases of pineal cyst apoplexy are rare, and little is known about its conservative management. This case report emphasizes the effectiveness of conservative treatment and close monitoring, aiming to contribute to the understanding of pineal cyst apoplexy management in the pediatric population.
期刊介绍：
The journal has been expanded to encompass all aspects of pediatric neurosciences concerning the developmental and acquired abnormalities of the nervous system and its coverings, functional disorders, epilepsy, spasticity, basic and clinical neuro-oncology, rehabilitation and trauma. Global pediatric neurosurgery is an additional field of interest that will be considered for publication in the journal.
