11 Complex Hydrocephalus Nasser
نویسنده
چکیده
Hydrocephalus arising from intraventricular septations is known as complex or loculated hydrocephalus. Many synonyms for complex hydrocephalus have been used in the literature such as compartmentalized or loculated hydrocephalus. Complex hydrocephalus remains a challenging neurosurgical problem. Definitive treatment is surgical, yet the approach remains controversial. Traditional treatment consisted of shunting, often requiring the placement of multiple shunt systems and multiple revisions (Ross et al., 1994; Schultz & Leeds 1973).

Role of Endoscopy in Management of Hydrocephalus
Management of hydrocephalus is the most beneficial indication for endoscopy. To cure hydrocephalus and thereby render an individual shunt independent is a great achievement. The standard and the most commonly performed endoscopic procedure is endoscopic third ventriculostomy. However, the field of neuroendoscopy is prepared to extend itself beyond just the ventriculostomy procedure. The neuroen...
متن کاملThe role of endoscopic third ventriculostomy in the treatment of hydrocephalus associated with faciocraniosynostosis.
OBJECT The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in the treatment of hydrocephalus in children with complex craniosynostosis. METHODS Medical charts from 2194 children treated at the Craniofacial Unit of Necker Enfants Malades between 1995 and 2008 were reviewed. Among them, 293 were affected by a syndromic faciocraniosynostosis. The management...
متن کاملHydrocephalus in Patients With Head Trauma: A Series of 14 Patients
Background and Aim: Hydrocephalus can cause ventricular expansion, which if not treated promptly, can result in brain damage. The hydrocephalus-induced damage is not fully improved, even by means of surgical procedures, leading to permanent damages to the brain. Methods and Materials/Patients: The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic characteristics as well as hydrocephalus in pat...
متن کاملThe prognosis of children with hydrocephalus and congenital heart disease.
The association of congenital hydrocephalus and heart disease in children is infrequent, but may present considerable dilemmas in management. This report describes the treatment and prognosis of 11 children with both clinical problems. There were 5 males and 6 females. Hydrocephalus occurred following aqueductal stenosis in 5 children and the Dandy-Walker malformation in 3. Three children were ...
متن کاملChildhood hydrocephalus – is radiological morphology associated with etiology
BACKGROUND Clinicians use a non-standardized, intuitive approach when correlating radiological morphology and etiology of hydrocephalus. OBJECTIVE To investigate the possibility of categorizing hydrocephalus in different groups based on radiological morphology, to analyze if these proposed groups relate to the location and type of underlying pathology, and if this can be of use in clinical pr...
