I am fairly new to this site so forgive my ignorance, but what is hydrocephalus? I was recently diagnosed with Myasthenis Gravis, so all of this is still a blur to me..........When you get a chance, can you lease let me know what your disease is? I'm not trying to be nosy, just curious!
Take care! Erin Hermes

The Hydrocephalus Association Fact Sheet says: In endoscopic third ventriculostomy, a small perforation is made in the thinned floor of the third ventricle, allowing movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) out of the blocked ventricular system and into the interpenducular cistern (a normal CSF space). Cerebrospinal fluid within the ventricle is thus diverted elsewhere in an attempt to bypass an obstruction in the aqueduct of Sylvius and thereby relieve pressure. The objective of this procedure, called an “intracranial CSF diversion,” is to normalize pressure on the brain without using a shunt. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy is not a cure for hydrocephalus, but rather an alternate treatment. For more information go to there website hydrocassoc.org |
