INCIDENCE OF CAVUM SEPTUM PELLUCIDUM AND CAVUM VERGAE IN DR. HASAN SADIKIN GENERAL HOSPITAL, BANDUNG, INDONESIA
ABSTRACT: To describe the
cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and cavum vergae (CV) findings.
Methods: Thirteen samples were recruited in the study. The study was
conducted at the Department of Neurosurgery, Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital,
Bandung, Indonesia in the period of 2015–2016. Thirteen samples were recruited
for the study. Cavum septum pellucidum and CV spaces are relatively rare.
During neurology and neurosurgery examination of patients with head computed
tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CSP and CV were
discovered accidentally. The incidence of these unique spaces reported from
many countries, but have never been reported from Indonesia.
Results: This is the first-time reported incidental finding of CSP and CV
from Indonesia, 13 cases in one-year period. Since the presence of CSP and CV
is usually asymptomatic, clinician seem don’t really care to put it in their
report.
Conclusions: The presence of CSP and CV as a common incidental finding
can be more revealed in our country in years to come and hopefully can be more
studied in term of anatomical landmark on neurosurgical field.
