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.
Background: The epidemiological, prognostic, and therapeutic features of child and adolescent meningioma are poorly defined. Clinical knowledge has been drawn from small case series and extrapolation from adult studies. This study was done to pool and analyse the clinical evidence on child and adolescent meningioma.

Materials And Methods: Intracranial pressure (ICP) measurement and infusion test were performed intraventricularly, by lumbar route, or combined in 40 consecutive children as a part of the standard diagnostic program in 1996-1999.
Results: The median age was 18.
Objectives: To elucidate the importance of clinically diagnosed cerebral comorbidity in idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) and its effect on improvement after shunt surgery as well as concordance with parenchymal pathological changes described in frontal cerebral biopsy specimens.
Methods: In 28 consecutive patients diagnosed with INPH and shunted according to clinical, radiological and cerebrospinal fluid dynamic criteria, concomitant disorders were carefully registered, with special emphasis on cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and possible Alzheimer's disease. During shunt surgery, a frontal cerebral biopsy specimen was obtained and subsequently analysed for pathological changes.
