Abstract
A case of unilateral tentorial hypoplasia with ipsilateral brain herniation is presented. This was an incidental finding in a 38 years old lady without any other associated findings. Computed Tomographic and Magnetic Resonance showed mild dilation of occipital horn of left lateral ventricle, which is a rare finding.
