  ABSTRACT: Hydrocephalus had been managed by ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) since several years. But these two different technics had some complications that must be managed promptly to avoid eventual fatal evolution. Chronic subdural hematomas after ETV is among these complications and is a very rarely situation observed in our department. This rare event associated with malaria in a child is considered to have a high mortality. Here we report a rare case of bilateral chronic subdural hematoma occurring in a 4-month-old boy after ETV and we discuss the likely pathogenesis and the difficulties of management.
