It has been the most life-saving measure in managing hydrocephalus and elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). This procedure can be life-saving, providing immediate relief in conditions such as traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and other causes of acute hydrocephalus ((Abongha GB, Afunui NM, Elvira NA, Ezie KN, Kyaruzi VM. Ventriculostomy. In: Lv X, Wu Y, Liang S, editors. Frontiers in Hydrocephalus. 1st ed. IntechOpen; 2023.)). ---- see [[Endoscopic third ventriculostomy]]. see [[External ventricular drainage]]. see [[Cystoventriculostomy]]. ventriculostomy.txt Last modified: 2024/09/13 06:51by 127.0.0.1
