Congenital hydrocephalus after peripartum infection usually presents early in life; however, we present a 92-year-old female patient with newly diagnosed hydrocephalus secondary to peripartum infection. Intracranial imaging showed ventriculomegaly, calcifications bilaterally throughout the cerebral hemispheres, and findings suggesting a chronic process. This presentation is most likely to occur in low-resource settings, and given the risks of operation, conservative management was preferred.
