متن کاملComparison of failure between post- shunted ETV and primary ETV in hydrocephalus: a review article
Hydrocephalus is an abnormal increase in the volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and sometimes increased intracerebral pressure also leads to hydrocephalus. Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) treatment is a new method for hydrocephaly treatment.
