Learn about the surgical procedure to treat hydrocephalus without a shunt, using an endoscope and a bypass in the brain. Find out the success rates, recovery steps and follow-up care for this alternative treatment.
Learn about the indications, advantages, complications, and technical principles of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), a minimally invasive procedure for hydrocephalus. Watch a video demonstration and view an interactive module with anatomic images and trajectory planning.
Third ventriculostomy (TV) is the most common neuroendoscopic procedure for restoration of near physiological circulation of cerebrospinal fluid in obstructive hydrocephalus. Among 70 adults operated on using this technique, the authors encountered one case of spontaneous TV.
20 cze 2024 · A ventriculostomy is a surgery to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from your brain. Learn about the types, benefits, risks and recovery of this common emergency treatment for hydrocephalus and brain injuries.
13 sie 2023 · The ventricular system develops from the cavities within the developing brain vesicles. The cavity of the rhombencephalon later forms the fourth ventricle, whereas the cavity of the diencephalon forms the third ventricle, and those of the telencephalon develop into the lateral ventricles.
In endoscopic third ventriculostomy, a small perforation is made in the thinned floor of the third ventricle, allowing movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) out of the blocked ventricular system and into the interpenducular cistern (a normal CSF space).
