BACKGROUND: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is currently considered as an alternative to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt systems in the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus. This procedure allows the CSF to drain in the basal cisterns and reabsorbed by arachnoid granulations, and avoiding implantation of exogenous material.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the success rate of ETV in infants less than 1 year of age with congenital noncommunicating hydrocephalus.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was a 2-year prospective study from August 2017 to July 2019. ETVs were performed in 14 patients younger than 1 year with diagnosis of noncommunicating hydrocephalous. A failure was defined as the need for shunt implantation after ETV. Phase-contrast MRI of the brain was done after 6 months to see patency of ETV fenestration and CSF flow through ventriculostomy.
RESULTS: ETV was tried in 18 patients and successfully performed in 14 patients. Out of the 14 patients, shunt implantation after ETV was performed in 3 patients (failed ETV). In the successful cases, etiology was idiopathic aqueductal stenosis in 8, shunt complications in 2, and 1 case was a follow-up case of occipital encephalocele; the mean age was 7.7 months (range 3-12). In the 3 failed cases, etiology was aqueductal stenosis, mean age was 7.6 months (range 3-11). In all ETVs, failed patients MPVP shunting was done. Follow-up of nonshunted patients was done from 6 to 24 months (mean 15 months). There was no mortality or permanent morbidity noted following ETV.
CONCLUSION: ETV is a good surgical procedure for less than 1-year-old children.
