Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the impact of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and shunting on head circumference and ventricular size in infants with hydrocephalus due to aqueductal stenosis.
- Using data from the International Infant Hydrocephalus Study, researchers analyzed craniometric measurements over a 5-year follow-up period for 158 infants, with 115 receiving ETV and 43 getting shunts.
- Results showed both treatment methods improved head size measurements, with ETV showing better frontal-occipital horn ratio results, although there were no significant differences in overall head circumference between the two procedures.
