Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 13
Abstract
Slit ventricle syndrome is a rare condition where brain compliance is reduced. It is associated with intermittent intracranial hypertension. It has been typically observed in older hydrocephalic children operated in early infancy, even though it has been observed occasionally in young children and adults. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is difficult in slit ventricule syndrome because of collapsed and fibrosed ventricles. In our case, patient had symptomatic improvement after endoscopic third ventriculostomy.
