The standard treatment for hydrocephalus is a ventriculoperitoneal shunt which is associated with high rate long-term morbidity. Seeking alternative treatments, neuroendoscopic third ventriculostomies (ETV) have been performed in patients with obstructive hydrocephalus. During this procedure, the third ventricular floor is perforated thus bypassing the pathological obstruction. In this procedure, no hardware is left and fluid pressures are more physiologically balanced compared to shunted cases. STUDY GOALS: To present our experience with endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in patients below the age of 18 years.
