Hydrocephalus is a common disorder of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) physiology resulting in
abnormal expansion of the cerebral ventricles. Infants commonly present with progressive …

Abstract Post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH), also referred to as progressive ventricular
dilatation, is caused by disturbances in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow or absorption …

OBJECTIVE: To develop a model to predict the probability of endoscopic third
ventriculostomy (ETV) success in the treatment for hydrocephalus on the basis of a child's …

Object The authors recently developed and internally validated the ETV Success Score
(ETVSS)—a simplified means of predicting the 6-month success rate of endoscopic third …

Background: Simulation-based techniques using three-dimensional models are gaining
popularity in neurosurgical training. Most pre-existing models are expensive, so we felt a …

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is considered as a treatment of choice for obstructive
hydrocephalus. It is indicated in hydrocephalus secondary to congenital aqueductal …

Object The use of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) with choroid plexus cauterization
(CPC) has been advocated as an alternative to CSF shunting in infants with hydrocephalus …

Object Although endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has been accepted as a procedure
of choice for the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus, the outcome of this treatment …

Object Most pediatric patients that present with a posterior fossa tumor have concurrent
hydrocephalus. There is significant debate over the best management strategy of …

BACKGROUND Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has preferentially been offered to
patients with more favorable prognostic features compared with shunt. OBJECTIVE To use …
