Longitudinal changes in ventricular volume after treating aqueduct stenosis through endoscopic third ventriculostomy in adults
Volumetric analysis provides a more accurate representation of ventricular size changes following ETV for AS. It demonstrates a continuous reduction in LTV volume during the first year after surgery, whereafter LTV volume appears to stabilize with a cumulative reduction of 38.7%, suggesting that lifelong imaging may be unnecessary in these patients. However, it does not predict the clinical outcome.
