Résumé : In the light of the literature, the authors discuss the case of a 66 yr-old hypertensive patient presenting headaches, disorders of gait and deglutition, dysphonia and urinary incontinence. A CAT scan showed dilatation of the entire ventricular system. Anatomo-pathological investigation showed a voluminous bisaccular aneurysmal malformation in the basilar artery. By deforming the pons and the medulla oblongata, the aneurysm had compressed the fourth ventricle and cerebral aqueduct, thus causing hydrocephalus.
