..., including late-onset superficial hemosiderosis and hydrocephalus [ 1, 2 ]. The tenet of functional hemispherotomy relies on less resection with extensive disconnection to achieve similar rates of seizure freedom while avoiding the morbidity of the traditional anatomic techniques. In 1983, Rasmussen [ 3...

...Adam S. Reig; Charles B. Stevenson; Noel B. Tulipan Background: Patients with small or dysmorphic ventricles requiring ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) insertion for hydrocephalus can be challenging. The ‘freehand’ technique does not always provide for accurate catheter insertion, particularly...

... measurements of hydrocephalus and third ventricle floor size. The third ventriculostomy were done on 50 patients using the Richard-Wolf ® Caemaert Endoscope and the Leksell Stereotactic Frame Model G. These patients were operated using the 4-French Fogarthy catheter to open the base of the third ventricle...

... of the scope is 4.5 mm, which is small enough to pass through the foramen of Monro in occlusive hydrocephalus. In addition, several multifunctional instruments are comparable with the endoscope. Neuroendoscopy Minimally invasive endoscopic neurosurgery Stereotactic techniques Hydrocephalus...

... and another indirectly related to irradiation. Nonfatal complications included 1 tumor bleeding, and 4 ventriculoperitoneal shunts had to be inserted due to aggravation of preexisting hydrocephalus. Radiation-induced imaging changes developed in 23.6% of the cases followed up for more than 6 months. Among 24...

... required extracranial shunting for persistent symptomatic hydrocephalus. Two patients underwent revision of their TV. Twenty-seven patients had been previously shunted. Of these, 23 (85%) have remained asymptomatic after TV without the need for further shunting. Stereotactic TV is a safe and effective way...
