Conclusions: Hydrocephalus associated with PFT affects the quality of life of patients with such lesions.

A high index of suspicion and aggressive surveillance is required for the early identification and appropriate management of postresection hydrocephalus. Future studies are needed to address several unanswered questions pertaining to the management of this condition.
