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

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

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

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

Study summary

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

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

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