Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat selected cases of hydrocephalus by creating a small opening in the floor of the third ventricle. This opening provides an alternative pathway for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to circulate around an obstruction and may reduce excess fluid accumulation in the brain. The procedure is performed using an endoscope introduced through a small opening in the skull.

Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy may be considered for selected patients with obstructive hydrocephalus, particularly when cerebrospinal fluid flow is blocked within or near the ventricular system. During the procedure, a small endoscope is guided into the third ventricle, where the neurosurgeon creates an opening in its floor to allow CSF to bypass the obstruction. Preoperative MRI and other imaging studies help assess ventricular anatomy and determine whether the procedure is appropriate.

Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) is a neurosurgical procedure used to treat hydrocephalus, a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid builds up in the ventricles of the brain. During an ETC procedure, a neuroendoscope is inserted through a small hole in the skull. This allows the surgeon to create a new pathway for the cerebrospinal fluid to flow through, bypassing the obstructed areas.
ETV is a neurological procedure that is commonly suggested to treat obstructive hydrocephalus- a type of hydrocephalus where the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid is blocked, leading to fluid buildup and increased intracranial pressure.
The recovery process after ETV varies depending on individual factors like the patient's age, overall health, and severity of their condition. After the procedure, patients may need to stay in the hospital for a few days for monitoring. Physical activity and certain restrictions may be advised during the recovery period. Regular follow-up appointments and imaging tests will be scheduled to assess the effectiveness of the procedure and the patient's progress. Overall, the recovery after an ETV procedure may take at least 2 - 6 weeks.
