ETV as treatment for obstructive hydrocephalus in an aneurysmal malformation of the vein of Galen in infants: case report and review of literature

Jose Javier Guil-Ibanez et al.

Summary: This article describes a case of a vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) associated with obstructive hydrocephalus, which was successfully treated with endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). The literature review suggests that ETV is a viable and safe option for the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus associated with VGAM in pediatric patients, with good outcomes and minimal complications. However, more research is needed to establish its effectiveness compared to other treatment options and to understand the long-term outcomes.

Role of Endoscopic Aqueductoplasty With Panventricular Stent in the Treatment of Isolated Fourth Ventricle During Shunt Malfunction: 2-Dimensional Operative Video

Mario Gomar-Alba et al.

Summary: Endoscopic aqueductoplasty with stent is an effective surgical technique for isolated fourth ventricle (IFV) treatment, especially in preterm infants with posthemorrhagic or postmeningitic hydrocephalus who have previously undergone ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement. Surgery is recommended when neuroimaging shows progression or symptoms of brainstem compression are present. The patient showed significant improvement and was discharged with no new neurological deficits.
