Primary Fourth Ventricle Outlet Obstruction in Childhood: New Clinical Insights and Long-Term Outcome

PFVOO should be included in the differential diagnosis of unexplained tetraventricular hydrocephalus in children when conventional imaging is inconclusive. Advanced MRI sequences such as 3D-CISS are valuable for identifying subtle outlet obstructions. This case, extending the pediatric follow-up to two years, reinforces ETV as a safe and durable first-line treatment option in selected patients with PFVOO.

Abstract

PFVOO should be included in the differential diagnosis of unexplained tetraventricular hydrocephalus in children when conventional imaging is inconclusive. Advanced MRI sequences such as 3D-CISS are valuable for identifying subtle outlet obstructions. This case, extending the pediatric follow-up to two years, reinforces ETV as a safe and durable first-line treatment option in selected patients with PFVOO.
