To describe a microsurgical alternative to endoscopic third ventriculocisternostomy.
Two children with shunt-dependent hydrocephalus and multiple shunt revisions were considered candidates for third ventriculocisternostomy (TVS). Because of slit ventricles, an endoscopic approach was not possible and, therefore, both patients received a microsurgical TVS by a supraorbital approach.
In both cases, microsurgical TVS was successful and the patients became shunt free.
Microsurgical TVS by a supraorbital craniotomy is a viable alternative to endoscopic TVS in selected cases.
描述一种内镜下第三脑室造瘘术的显微手术替代方法。
两名依赖分流的脑积水患儿且多次进行分流术修复,被视为第三脑室造瘘术(TVS)的候选者。由于脑室狭小,无法采用内镜方法,因此,两名患者均通过眶上入路接受了显微手术TVS。
在这两个病例中,显微手术TVS均成功,患者不再需要分流。
在特定病例中,经眶上开颅的显微手术TVS是内镜下TVS的一种可行替代方法。
