Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy for Adjunctive Management of Hydrocephalus Associated With Previously Embolized Vein of Galen Malformations
This largest-to-date series on VOGM-associated hydrocephalus treated with ETV demonstrates high safety and efficacy across 2 independent high-volume centers. In patients with VOGM demonstrating clinical deterioration secondary to hydrocephalus, ETV with possible choroid plexus cauterization is a viable CSF diversion strategy to consider.
