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.
