Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of endoscopic aqueductoplasty, with or without stent placement, in treating isolated fourth ventricle (IFV) in seven children with loculated hydrocephalus resulting from hemorrhage or infection.
- All patients had previously implanted supratentorial shunts, and the procedure led to resolution of intracranial hypertension symptoms and improvement in neuroimaging results, particularly with stent placement in cases experiencing membranous aqueductal stenosis.
- The findings suggest that combining aqueductoplasty with stent placement is more effective at preventing aqueduct occlusion and should be considered the first-line treatment when anatomy allows.
