    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Critical Care

    Background:

    • Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain.
    • Comatose patients with hydrocephalus often require urgent intervention to reduce intracranial pressure.
    • Traditional ventricular drainage methods can be invasive and carry risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel transorbital technique for emergency ventricular drainage.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this transorbital approach in comatose hydrocephalic patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A transorbital surgical approach was utilized for ventricular access.
    • The technique involves precise instrument insertion through the orbit to reach the ventricles.
    • Emergency ventricular drainage was performed to manage increased intracranial pressure.

    Main Results:

    • The transorbital technique was successfully implemented in comatose hydrocephalic patients.
    • The procedure effectively achieved emergency ventricular drainage.
    • No immediate complications were reported during the described cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The transorbital technique represents a feasible and successful method for emergency ventricular drainage.
    • This approach may offer an alternative for managing hydrocephalus in critically ill patients.
    • Further studies are warranted to establish long-term outcomes and broader applicability.
