Official title

Role of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy in Management of Hydrocephalus in Pediatric Age Group; Clinical and Surgical Outcome

Overview

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy in cases of hydrocephalus provide less invasive and safe technique than ventriculoperitoneal Shunt also decrease complications of ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

Detailed description

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure used to treat obstructive hydrocephalus in children. By creating an opening in the floor of the third ventricle, the surgeon establishes a new pathway for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to bypass the blockage and drain naturally, potentially eliminating the need for a traditional brain shunt.

Interventions

  • Procedure Fenestration of the floor of the third ventricle
    Endoscopic third ventriculostomy of the third ventricle of the brain
  • Procedure Endoscopic third ventriculostomy of the brain third ventricle
    Surgeons insert a rigid endoscope through a small burr hole in the skull into the ventricular system. They use a catheter or laser to puncture a tiny, precise opening in the floor of the third ventricle
  • Procedure Endoscopic third ventriculostomy
    Surgeons insert a rigid endoscope through a small burr hole in the skull into the ventricular system. They use a catheter or laser to puncture a tiny, precise opening in the floor of the third ventricle

Primary outcome measures

  • Changes in manifestation according to ETVSS endoscopic third ventriculostomy success score with assement of level of consciousness degree of papiledema and severity of headache [Time frame: 6 month]
