Brief Summary

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

Conditions

Hydrocephalus

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Changes in manifestation according to ETVSS endoscopic third ventriculostomy success score with assement of level of consciousness degree of papiledema and severity of headache

  ETVSS ETV success score is predictive tool used to estimate ETV success based on factors like age etiology previous shunt other pathologies The score is expressed as a number from 0 to 90 with assement of level of consciousness degree of papiledema and severity of headache Score 70 indicate an estimated 70 % chance of success

OTHER

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy in cases with hydrocephalus in pediatric age group

Procedure: Fenestration of the floor of the third ventricle; Procedure: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy of the brain third ventricle; Procedure: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy

Interventions

Fenestration of the floor of the third ventricle PROCEDURE

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy of the third ventricle of the brain

Hydrocephalus in pediatric age group

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy of the brain third ventricle PROCEDURE

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
