Endoscopic third ventriculostomy during pregnancy
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2007ology (CVUE), was observed. The frequency of maternal complications in scleroderma patients is not increased compared with healthy controls, except for renal crisis [1]. Prematurity and preterm births are amajor problem. In a recent study, pretermbirths occurred in 29% of scleroderma pregnancies [3].

Indication for Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy
World Neurosurgery, 2013Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is increasingly prevalent among pediatric neurosurgeons as the initial treatment for hydrocephalus. The combination of ETV and choroid plexus cauterization (ETV/CPC) has improved the success rate among infants with hydrocephalus for whom ETV alone is much less successful.

Results of endoscopic third ventriculostomy
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2004ETV is emerging as the treatment of choice for aqueductal stenosis caused by anatomic, inflammatory, and selected neoplastic etiologies. The technique has also proven useful in the pathologic diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. Long-term results of this procedure and comparison to standard shunting procedures are necessary to define ...

Complications of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy
World Neurosurgery, 2013The treatment of choice for several types of obstructive hydrocephalus is endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). However, in certain cases ETV is not clearly superior to shunt placement, and a question of choice arises. Apart from the possibility of success in each case, knowledge of complication rates is of major importance as well.Several series of ...

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy in infants
Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2005The failure rate following endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in infants younger than 1 year of age has been reported to be higher compared with that of older children. The authors present results of ETVs in such infants and advocate that success or failure of the procedure depends not on the age of the patient but on the cause of the hydrocephalus.

Complications of endoscopic third ventriculostomy
Child's Nervous System, 2008Although endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is considered as the first choice in the management of noncommunicating hydrocephalus, it is not without risk or complication.The patients who had undergone ETV only between 1998 and 2005 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 85 males and 70 females, and 173 ETVs were performed in 155 patients.

Strabismus after endoscopic third ventriculostomy
Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2007Until recently, the treatment of choice for noncommunicating hydrocephalus included the use of valve-regulated shunts such as the ventriculoperitoneal shunt. High failure rates and multiple complications have led neurosurgeons to use other techniques.

Complications of endoscopic third ventriculostomy
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2002Object. The purpose of this prospective investigation was to determine the rate of complications associated with endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). Methods. Between March 1993 and October 2001, 193 ETVs were performed in 188 patients at a single institution. The age of the patients ranged from 1 month to 85 years (mean age 39 years). One procedure

Techniques of endoscopic third ventriculostomy
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2004Modem techniques of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) are based on the concept of establishing a natural conduit for cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) flow through the floor of the third ventricle. Through the years, a wide variety of techniques have been used as a means to this end and have included both open and closed approaches.
