ResumoIn 10 cases of foramen of Monro obstruction in children, malignant tumors (5 cases) and postinflammatory occlusions were established as the most common entities. Proper air examination is stressed as the resultant demonstration of the location, extent and nature of the lesions involved was of primary importance in determining treatment. Two cases of unilateral foramen of Monro obstruction with no midline shift were seen. In one case, this lack of midline shift (explained by a tandem lesion obstructing the posterior third with resultant dilatation of the opposite unobstructed lateral ventricle) made angiographic diagnosis of unilateral foramen of Monro obstruction impossible.
