PROGNOSTIC FACTORS FOR ENDOSCOPIC THIRD VENTRICULOSTOMY WITH CHOROID PLEXUS CAUTERIZATION PROCEDURE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To determine the clinical and imaging prognostic factors for the outcome of endoscopic third ventriculostomy with choroid plexus cauterization procedure (ETV/CPC) in neonates.
Subjects and methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 30 neonates (≤ 28 days old) at the National Children’s Hospital from 2020-20241.
Results: The success rate of shunt avoidance after 6 months was 63.3%. The mean weight in the successful group (3020.89±900.32g) was significantly higher than in the failed group (2018.18±745.41g) with p=0.0035. Full-term infants had a higher success rate (77.8%) than preterm infants (41.7%) with p=0.0446.
Conclusion: Low birth weight and preterm gestational age are the two most important prognostic factors indicating the risk of failure of ETV/CPC surgery in neonates.
