Background: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and Choroid Plexus Cauterization (CPC) have been recommended as reliable surgical options in developing countries for childhood hydrocephalus owing to reported shunt failures in shunt... more
PURPOSE: This study aims to provide external validation of the "Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Success Score (ETVSS)" for both short-term and long-term predictive adequacy. METHODS: Between 1998 and 2007, we collected clinical... more
Object The purpose of the present study is to assess the effectiveness of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in children with hydrocephalus related to posterior fossa tumors. Methods Between September 1999 and December 2002, 63... more
Background The significant technological improvement of endoscopic instrumentation has allowed, in the last 10 years, a widespread diffusion of neuroendoscopic procedures. Nevertheless, severe, sometimes life-threatening, complications... more

Objective We searched for factors that could predispose towards persistent hydrocephalus in children with posterior fossa (PF) tumors in order to determine the need for permanent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion. Methods The clinical... more
Various MR techniques have been used to assess CSF flow and to image the subarachnoid spaces and ventricles. Anecdotal reports describe the use of intrathecal and intraventricular gadolinium-based contrast agents in humans and animals. We... more
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is increasingly used as alternative treatment for obstructive hydrocephalus. The aim of this study was to determine the utility of quantitative and qualitative examinations with cine phase-contrast... more
Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) abdominal pseudocyst is an uncommon but important complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunts. From the collected series, several features about the etiology and management become apparent.... more
Resumen Introducción: El tercer ventrículo del cerebro humano proporciona continuidad luminal entre los dos ventrículos laterales y el acueducto cerebral. La mayoría de las lesiones que afectan al tercer ventrículo, incluidos tumores,... more
