Abstract

Objective: It is difficult to demonstrate the success of the procedure in patients with third ventriculostomy. We evaluated that optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement, which can reflect intracranial pressure, may be a criterion for decision of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) success.
