Abstract

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy is an important tool in the treatment of various forms of adult hydrocephalus, and its use is evolving over the past years, proving in many cases more effective than the more traditional ventriculoperitoneal shunts. We present the experience from our department while comparing the results and complications with the international literature.

Keywords: endoscopic third ventriculostomy; obstructive hydrocephalus; treatment of adult hydrocephalus.
