Hydrocephalus caused by stenosis of the foramen of Monro is rare. The authors describe a 28-year-old female patient with bilateral foraminal stenosis treated using endoscopic septostomy and unilateral foraminal balloon plasty (foraminoplasty). The patient's hydrocephalus and symptoms resolved postoperatively. Endoscopic strategies may be employed as first-line therapy in this condition.
由 Monro 孔狭窄引起的脑积水较为罕见。作者描述了一位 28 岁女性患者,采用内镜间隔切开术和单侧孔球囊成形术(孔成形术)治疗双侧孔狭窄。患者的脑积水和症状在术后得到缓解。对于这种情况,内镜策略可作为一线治疗方法。
