Clinical and surgical outcome of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) in patients with Long-Standing Overt Ventriculomegaly in Adults (LOVA): a systematic review
DISCUSSION: This meta-analysis confirmed the efficacy of EVT and VPS in symptomatic patients with LOVA, reporting a roughly 84% of postoperative clinical improvement or halt of progression of symptoms. A higher rate of surgical complications was observed in patients treated with VPS compared with patients treated with ETV. In addition, roughly 18% of patients treated with ETV required a further VPS. These findings should be considered when advising LOVA patients regarding the management of hydrocephalus.PMID:37722694 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2023.2257461

A nomogram for predicting post-operative hydrocephalus in children with medulloblastoma
This study aimed to establish a novel model for predicting the development of post-operative hydrocephalus in children with medulloblastoma. Only pediatric patients who received initial medulloblastoma resection at Beijing Tiantan Hospital between January 2018 and May 2021 were included in this study. The potential risk factors associated with post-operative hydrocephalus were identified based on multivariate logistic regression and the nomogram. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram model based on an independent cohort of medulloblastoma patients who underwent ...

Perinatal Presentation of a Congenital Intramedullary Capillary Hemangioma in a Neonate Born with Hydrocephalus and Paraplegia
We present a neonate with an intramedullary hemangioma, born with communicating hydrocephalus and complete paraplegia. Spinal imagining showed an intradural mass with hemorrhagic foci, a low-lying conus medullaris, and scalloping of dorsal elements. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting was performed in an emergent setting, with cerebrospinal fluid showing a brownish appearance with high viscosity which implied a possible old hemorrhage. Tissue sample was taken from the spinal lesion in an elective setting. Histopathological examination revealed capillary lobules and extralobular large vessels resembling abnormal veins. The mentio...

Long-term clinical outcomes of stereotactic radiotherapy for bilateral vestibular schwannomas in neurofibromatosis type 2 patients
ConclusionsRobotic HSRT demonstrated excellent long-term tumor control with a low non-auditory complication rate in patients with VS-NF2. However, preservation of hearing remains a major concern.

Perforation of the cavum septi pellucidi in open spina bifida: association with need for hydrocephalus treatment by 1 year of age
CONCLUSIONS: The detection of a pCSP in fetuses with ONTD can reliably identify those cases at highest risk for needing hydrocephalus treatment by 1 year of age. The evaluation of this brain structure can greatly improve our counseling to families considering fetal surgery for ONTD, in order to set expectations about postnatal outcome.

The initial intracranial pressure spike phenomenon
DiscussionOur results highlight an intracranial opening pressure ‘spike’ phenomenon. This spike was 15.2 mmHg higher than the plateau, which is reached at 20 min after insertion. Several possible causes exist which require further research in larger cohorts, including sedation and pain response. Regardless of causation, this study provides key information on the use of ICP monitoring devices, guiding interpretation and when to obtain measurements.
