Current Trends in the Treatment of Pediatric Hydrocephalus: Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt or Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy? A Narrative Review of Relevant Meta-Analyses Centered on the Indications, Safety and Efficacy Characteristics Along with Long-term Outcomes of the Available Treatment Modalities

2024-10-10

Abstract excerpt

The pathophysiologic substrate of pediatric hydrocephalus has not been thoroughly explained. Because of that, the available treatment options and protocols will be largely based on expert opinions or the results of single-center databases, until a more comprehensive knowledge of the various subcategories of hydrocephalus is undertaken. In retrospect, we mention that valve-based shunt systems have been constituting...
