Background And Purpose
Method
Ten symptomatic hydrocephalic patients associated with CIM underwent ETV from October 2002 to May 2012. The clinical features and neuroimaging of all patients were reviewed. Statistical analysis was applied to evaluate the changes in the tonsillar ectopia and the ventricle dilation after operation.
Conclusion
The clinical outcomes are related to the major cause of the tonsillar herniation.
Main results
The mean follow-up period of this series was 92 months (range 24-163 months). Eight patients (80%) remained shunt free or experienced symptom relief following ETV. The remaining two patients were identified as failures due to the deterioration of symptoms or subsequent hindbrain decompression. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy provides an effective treatment for hydrocephalus associated with CIM, which can relieve HCP and improve the symptoms of CIM in most patients
