Challenges in endoscopic third ventriculostomy for patients with achondroplasia: a focus on third ventricle floor anatomy
Achondroplasia patients' skull and brain anatomies were significantly different from those of other hydrocephalus patients, with steeper third ventricle floors and basilar arteries closer to the dorsum sellae. Because these anatomical differences lead to difficulties in performing ETVs in achondroplasia patients, such differences should be considered when ETV is planned for the patients.
