With growing experience there is a more efficient patient selection and further advances in technical know how. We evaluated retrospectively a consecutive group of 27 patients who were treated in our institution by stereotactic guided ETV between 1992 and 1996. When reviewing their postoperative imaging studies (MRI/CT) we could measure the position of the burr hole as port of entry for the rigid endoscope in 17 out of 23 finally selected patients. The median lateral position was 28 mm (mean 26.5 mm) from the midline and 8 mm (mean 6.5 mm) anterior of the coronal suture. We conclude that the optimal burr hole position should be 3 cm lateral to the midline and 1 cm anterior of the coronal suture, in the patients with normal anatomical findings.","PeriodicalId":49808,"journal":{"name":"Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery","volume":"5 1","pages":"187 - 189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87871000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical notes and endoscopic findings for 15 patients treated with endoscopic procedures were retrospectively reviewed. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) was performed as initial treatment in 4 patients with non-communicating hydrocephalus, including a neonate with myelomeningocele, and as an alternative to shunt revision in 4 patients. Two patients with non-communicating hydrocephalus caused by tumor or arachnoid cyst were also managed with third ventriculostomy. Four patients with loculated hydrocephalus underwent endoscopic septostomy. A child with an isolated fourth ventricle was treated with endoscopic aqueductoplasty. Of the 15 patients undergoing endoscopic procedure, 4 required reoperation. Of the 10 patients treated with ETV, only the neonate with myelomeningocele required a ventriculoperitoneal shunt because of failure of the initial procedure. Of the 4 patients treated with endoscopic septostomy, 2 children with loculated hydrocephalus following intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) underwent a second septostomy. In a patient with an isolated fourth ventricle following posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, recurrence was noted 8 months after the initial procedure. He underwent a second procedure using a stent implanted into the aqueduct to maintain CSF circulation. Sufficient stomal size or implantation of a stent may be required in the under-2-year age group with hydrocephalus accompanied by IVH and associated with myelomeningocele, in whom the risk of secondary obstruction may be high.","PeriodicalId":49808,"journal":{"name":"Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery","volume":"31 2 1","pages":"181 - 186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82873491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
