Hydranencephaly is devastating CNS malformation consisting of almost complete absence of the cerebral hemisphere. it can be developed as a consequence of intrauterine infections (such as toxoplasmosis and cytomegalovirus), other gestational insults, or acquired cerebral infarction associated with extensive meningitis, widespread intracerebral hemorrhage or ischemia, in this paper, we report a patient with hydranencephaly secondary to congenital toxoplasmosis, in the present case, affecting the cerebellum and the brain stem, and stopping the enlargement of head circumference with CSF division suggest that; (1) in the cases with hydranencaphaly secondary to congenital toxoplasmosis, progressive obstructive hydrocephalus may be associated with hydranencaphaly, and this condition may be severely affected hydranencephaly, (2) in cases with hydranencephaly and/or hydrocephalus, CSF diversion may relieve in both conditions.

Özet
Hidranensefali beyin hemisferlerinin tamamına yakın yokluğu ile oluşan bir SSS malformasyonudur. İntrauterin enfeksiyonların (toksoplazmosis ve sitomegalivirus gibi), differ gestasyonel hasarların; ya da ağır menenjit, yaygın intraserebral hemoraji veya iskeminin birliktelik gösterdiği edinsel serebral enfarktın bir sonucu olarak gelişebilir, Bu makalede kongenital toksoplazmozise sekonder gelişen bir hidranensefali olgusu sunulmaktadır, Serebellum ve beyin sapının da etkilendiği olguda BOS divizyonu ile hastanın baş çevresinin büyümesinin durması; bu olgulara ilerleyici obstruktif hidrosefalinin eşlik edebileceğini ve bu durumun mevcut hidranensefaliyi ağırlaştırabileceğini, hidranensefali ve/veya hidrosefali olgularında BOS divizyonu ile rahatlama sağlanabileceğini göstermektedir.
