Background: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is benign tumor. VS can produce obstructive hydrocephalus by compressing the fourth ventricle, but also, can be also associated with communicating hydrocephalus.
Case presentation: We report a 53-year-old woman patient who underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt for hydrocephalus complicating VS, and had elevated protein concentrations in the ventricular CSF.
Conclusion: Different CSF protein concentrations have been reported in patients with VS and communicating hydrocephalus and the concentration of protein necessary to produce this is unknown.
