OUTCOME OF ENDOSCOPIC THIRD VENTRICULOSTOMY IN HYDROCEPHALUS

Hydrocephalus, Neuroendoscopy, Endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Patients aged more than 2 years with hydrocephalus were included. Endoscope used with free hand technique and third ventriculostomy performed with Fogarty balloon. Success was defined with clinical improvement and radiological reduction in ventricular size.
