  • Title: Positive Outcome of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy in Fourth Ventricular Outlet Obstruction.
    Author: Panero I, García-Pérez D, Lagares A.
    Journal: World Neurosurg; 2019 Dec; 132():135-137. PubMed ID: 31479793.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of headache due to a hydrocephalus with associated syringomyelia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a fourth ventricular outlet obstruction. An endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) was performed with successful clinical and radiologic outcome. Fourth ventricular outlet obstruction is an uncommon cause of obstructive hydrocephalus, but it must be kept in mind. As far as we know, there are few reports that propose ETV as treatment. Therefore our case supports that ETV could be a successful option for the management of this condition.
