    This study introduces a simple technique for placing shunts in the third ventricle to prevent obstruction in hydrocephalus patients. The method shows promising results with no complications in 30 cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Pediatric Neurosurgery
    • Hydrocephalus Management

    Background:

    • Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain.
    • Shunt systems are commonly used to treat hydrocephalus.
    • Obstruction of shunt catheters by choroid plexus is a known complication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel technique for shunt placement in the third ventricle.
    • To prevent proximal catheter obstruction by choroid plexus particles.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A technique involving the placement of a catheter in the third ventricle within shunt systems.
    • Application in 30 patients with hydrocephalus.
    • Follow-up ranging from six to 40 months.

    Main Results:

    • Successful prevention of proximal catheter obstruction by choroid plexus.
    • Demonstrated simplicity of the surgical technique.
    • Absence of reported morbidity in the treated cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The described technique is a simple and safe method for shunt placement in hydrocephalus.
    • This approach effectively avoids proximal catheter obstruction.
    • Good clinical outcomes were observed in the patient cohort.
