Endoscopic third ventriculostomy in cases of hydrocephalus provide less invasive and safe technique than ventriculoperitoneal Shunt also decrease complications of ventriculoperitoneal Shunt
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure used to treat obstructive hydrocephalus in children. By creating an opening in the floor of the third ventricle, the surgeon establishes a new pathway for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to bypass the blockage and drain naturally, potentially eliminating the need for a traditional brain shunt.
210 studies on the registry are indexed under Hydrocephalus; 51 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 50 across 105 interventional studies indexed under Hydrocephalus.

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy in cases with hydrocephalus in pediatric age group
Procedure: Fenestration of the floor of the third ventricle · Procedure: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy of the brain third ventricle · Procedure: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy of the third ventricle of the brain
Surgeons insert a rigid endoscope through a small burr hole in the skull into the ventricular system. They use a catheter or laser to puncture a tiny, precise opening in the floor of the third ventricle

Changes in manifestation according to ETVSS endoscopic third ventriculostomy success score with assement of level of consciousness degree of papiledema and severity of headache
ETVSS ETV success score is predictive tool used to estimate ETV success based on factors like age etiology previous shunt other pathologies The score is expressed as a number from 0 to 90 with assement of level of consciousness degree of papiledema and severity of headache Score 70 indicate an estimated 70 % chance of success
