“…Entrapped temporal horn is a serious complication following resection of ventricular trigone tumors, manifesting as a localized form of hydrocephalus. Obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid from the temporal horn, coupled with continuous cerebrospinal fluid secretion, leads to the dilation of the temporal horn and the production of a local space-occupying effect [1][2][3][4]. This can result in related symptoms, such as headache, vomiting, visual impairment, hemiplegia, memory impairment, and decreased consciousness.…”

Entrapped temporal horn (ETH) is a complication following resection of ventricular trigone tumors. It is a special localized hydrocephalus. Obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid outflow following resection of ventricular trigone tumors leads to dilation of the temporal horn and the production of the local space-occupying effect. This article presents two cases of ETH following the resection of ventricular trigone tumors. Our Intraventricular shunt is an effective treatment that uses a T-connector to connect a reservoir with two catheters. We presented temporal-frontal horn shunt and trigone-front horn shunt. A patient presented with ETH shunt dependency. Our intraventricular shunt surgery achieved a good prognosis.

“…There are still limitations in its application in cases with widely spread tumors [Supplementary Figure 1, http://links.lww.com/CM9/A904] and severe adhesions [Supplementary Figure 2, http://links.lww.com/CM9/A904]. [4] Relative to other treatments, Y-shaped branched VPS is a simple technique with quick and reliable relief of acute MLH that requires less revised procedures and that can be easily mastered by neurosurgeons. According to our experience, branched VPS is indicated as the treatment of choice in some MLH cases.…”

Y-shaped branched ventriculo-peritoneal shunt for adult multiloculated hydrocephalus

Multiloculated hydrocephalus (MLH) due to neurosurgical manipulation, hemorrhage, infection, or tumors is uncommon in adults and cannot be easily resolved by endoscopic fenestration or unilateral ventriculo-peritoneal shunt (VPS) and no consensus on surgical strategy for MLH has yet been reported. The goal of treatment is to restore communication between trapped ventricular compartments, [1] and current treatment methods include microsurgical fenestration of separate entrapments by endoscopy or craniotomy, shunt surgery with multiple catheters placed in trapped compartments, or combinations of these modalities. [2] The existing evidence seems to favor neuro-endoscopy as the first line of treatment over traditional shunt placement. However, due to individual anatomic complexity and CSF hydrodynamics, each MLH case must be evaluated individually. The decision on which treatment to apply is based on individual anatomy, underlying pathology, available techniques, and the experience of the treating surgeon. Therefore, no procedure proposed by the literature should be ruled out a priori. [1] Y-shaped branched VPS has complementary advantages with endoscopic fenestration in treating complicated MLH and is still the treatment of choice for communicating hydrocephalus and after failure of endoscopic fenestration.Xiaohui Ren and Chuanwei Yang contributed equally to the work.
