Endoscopic third ventriculostomy in treatment of hydrocephalus.

Abstract: IntroductionEndoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a minimally invasive method of treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus (HCP).AimTo investigate perioperative and intraoperative difficulties, failures and complications of ETV.Material and methodsSeventy-three procedures of ETV were conducted in our department in the last 5 years on 69 patients with HCP of different etiology. In 4 patients we performed ETV twice. In 4 cases we used neuronavigation. In 6 cases ETV was performed in conjunction with endoscopic … Show more

“…There were no cases of postoperative hypothalamic storm, hyperthermia, or diabetes insipidus in our series, although these complications have been reported by others. [64][65][66]72 In the current 250 intended procedures for ETV, there were no cases of postoperative parenchymal or intraventricular hematomas related to the ETV. All 250 patients had postoperative CT scans of the head within 24 hours.…”

“…Having said that, complications like gaze palsy, fever, altered consciousness, diabetes insipidus, precocious puberty, hemiparesis, memory disorders, weight gain and bleeding have been reported. [11][12][13] Other complications, which are presented by some other researchers in this filed are, intraventricular, intracerebral, or subdural hemorrhage, hypothalamic injury, CSF leak, basilar artery injury, CNS infection, subdural hygroma or hematoma, headache due to sub dural air collection over the frontal cortex, and epilepsy, having a complication rate with the frequency of 8.5%. 12 The aim of the current study was to address the ETV in obstructive hydrocephalus patients in terms of determining the pattern and frequency of the complications as well as the outcome of the procedure.…”
