This short paper illustrates a case with cervical myelomeningocoele, a Chiari malformation (CM), hydrocephalus (HC) and cervical syringomyelia treated by neuroendoscopic third ventriculostomy (NTV) with resolution of both the hydrocephalus and the syrinx. Two similar cases are discussed. The technique is advocated for the treatment of such complex dysraphic conditions.
这篇短文阐述了一例患有颈脊髓脊膜膨出、Chiari畸形(CM)、脑积水(HC)和颈段脊髓空洞症的病例,该病例通过神经内镜下第三脑室造瘘术(NTV)进行治疗,脑积水和脊髓空洞症均得到缓解。文中还讨论了另外两例类似病例。提倡采用该技术治疗此类复杂的神经管闭合不全病症。
