Evaluation of Connecting a Fourth Ventricular Catheter with Y Connector to a Previous Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt, as a Treatment Option for Patients with Symptomatic Trapped Fourth Ventricle
Abstract:Background: Trapped fourth ventricle (TFV) is a rare clinico-pathological syndrome, usually resulting from inflammatory conditions (post-infective and post-hemorrhagic) that may present with serious brain stem compression manifestations. Many treatment modalities have been described with varying degrees of success.
