Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a common surgery for hydrocephalus. This report details a successful ETV in a rare case of congenital hydrocephalus with a deficient third ventricular roof.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Endoscopic Cranial Surgery

Background:

  • Hydrocephalus is a common condition in infants, often requiring surgical intervention.
  • Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a primary surgical treatment for obstructive hydrocephalus.
  • Congenital hydrocephalus can present with complex anatomical variations.

Observation:

  • A 6-month-old male infant presented with progressive head enlargement and signs of increased intracranial pressure.
  • Computed tomography revealed aqueductal stenosis, enlarged lateral and third ventricles, a deficient third ventricular roof, and a wide interfornicial space.
  • The surgical approach involved a right coronal burr hole and free-hand entry into the right lateral ventricle.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) was successfully performed in a patient with congenital hydrocephalus and a rare anatomical anomaly (deficient third ventricular roof).

  • The procedure was completed in a standard fashion despite the unusual anatomy.
  • Postoperative recovery was uneventful, confirmed by clinical and radiological assessments.

    • Implications:

    • This case demonstrates the feasibility and efficacy of ETV in managing hydrocephalus even with complex and rare anatomical variations.
    • The findings support ETV as a versatile and effective neurosurgical procedure for pediatric hydrocephalus.
    • Further review of literature and surgical techniques for ETV in rare anatomical scenarios is warranted.
