Abstract
Objective: To determine the success of endoscopic septostomy in the management of isolated lateral ventricular hydrocephalus.
Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis of data was done and records of all patients who underwent endoscopic septostomy for isolated lateral ventricular hydrocephalus due to any cause for the last 4 years, December 2017 to December 2021 at Punjab Institute of Neurosciences, Lahore. Radiological and clinical outcomes and complications were recorded. A total of 60 cases were reviewed.
Results: Out of 60 patients, 95% were in the age group of 3 – 25 years and 5% were in the age group of 26 – 71 years. There was 54% male whereas 46% were female. Septostomy was successful in relieving hydrocephalus in 75% of cases.
Conclusion: Endoscopic septostomy is an effective procedure for the management of isolated lateral ventricles.
Keywords: Septostomy, Hydrocephalus, Isolated Lateral Ventricles.
