Background: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is an effective alternative to ventriculoperitoneal shunting as well as external ventricular drainage for the urgent management of acute hydrocephalus. We performed this study to investigate the efficacy and safety of ETV before tumor resection in managing hydrocephalus in patients with posterior fossa brain tumors (PFBT) in our neurosurgery department. Methods: We conducted this retrospective observational study between February 2018 and February 2020 on all cases diagnosed with PFBT associated with triventricular obstructive hydrocephalus. We retrospectively reviewed the demographic characteristics, operative procedures, and radiological investigations of all cases. During the follow-up period, clinical, as well as radiological success were evaluated. Results: Twenty-two ETV procedures were performed in 22 cases of PFBT (mean age = 22.1 years, SD = 11.4). Of the 22 cases, 8 cases (36.4%) had ependymoma, 7 cases (31.8%) had cerebellar astrocytoma, and 5 cases (22.7 %) had medulloblastoma, while 2 cases (9.1%) had diffuse pontine gliomas. The median follow-up duration was 9 months (range 3–13 months). The most commonly reported clinical presentation was the significant intracranial pressure increase. All operations were performed successfully in all cases. Only two ETV post-tumor resection failures were documented during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Preoperative ETV has shown to be an effective long-term cerebrospinal fluid diversion procedure to manage PFBT-associated hydrocephalus, with a relatively low rate of complications. Further prospective studies are required to assess the regular use of ETV before complete tumor resection.
