Levodopa-resistant parkinsonism developing after ventriculoperitoneal shunting for obstructive hydrocephalus and improving after endoscopic third ventriculostomy, with specific consideration of brainstem morphology: illustrative case
The focus in such cases should be on the essence of the pathophysiology for improving the symptoms rather than on easy-to-understand indicators such as ventricle size. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2429.
