DOI: 10.1007/s00381-019-04231-y
Abstract: IntroductionAn interhypothalamic adhesion (IHA) is a gray mater–like band of tissue traversing across the third ventricle anterior to the mammillary bodies and is similar but distinct from an interthalamic adhesion. These rare anatomic anomalies can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00381-020-04596-5
Abstract: Purpose Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most frequent form of spina bifida. Moreover, 90% of patients with MMC have hydrocephalus and require shunt placement. However, shunt failure management in such patients typically involves several shunt revisions,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00381-021-05129-4
Abstract: Hydrocephalus, a complication of achondroplasia, requires treatment when it is symptomatic. Hydrocephalus associated with achondroplasia is often treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunting, and endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is rarely performed in these patients. Here, we report… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00381-024-06704-1
Abstract: Endoscopic third ventriculocisternostomy (ETV) became the relevant treatment option for non-communicating pediatric hydrocephalus. ETV success was predicted in relation to age, diagnosis, and previous shunt implantation. Radiological factors are usually taken for indication decision-making. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00381-025-06962-7
Abstract: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a common treatment for pediatric obstructive hydrocephalus, but predicting its success remains challenging. Traditional predictive tools, such as the Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Success Score (ETVSS) and logistic regression (LR) models,… read more here.
