ABSTRACT
|
Introduction: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy is a minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure which is the most commonly used to treat hydrocephalus via creating an opening in the floor of the third ventricle which allows excess cerebrospinal fluid to flow into surrounding basal cisterns by bypassing obstructions. Use of electromagnetic (AxiEM) neuronavigation to assess precise anatomical landmarks intraoperatively is gaining more importance to achieve accurate results. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy and neuroendoscopic intraventricular surgery overcome the persistent risk of infection and hardware failure associated with ventriculoperitoneal shunting for the treatment of hydrocephalus. However, the surgical technique is associated with endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) risks neurovascular catastrophe. Keywords: Electromagnetic, Endoscopic, Neuronavigation, Shunt, Ventriculoperitoneal, Ventriculostomy |
