Abstract

Personal observations are presented on two patients with normalpressure hydrocephalus and elongated basilar arteries. Although the elongated basilar artery in neither case indented the floor of the third ventricle, no other possible cause of the communicating hydrocephalus could be found, and it is suggested that it may have originated by a purely functional mechanism.
